Snapchat has a function that allows its users to block one another - here’s how you can find out if someone has restricted what you see on the social media channel.

As a way to protect its users from spam, abusive messages and scams, Snapchat has a blocking function. The privacy add-on is used to cease communication with another user, though there is no official alert that notifies people that they have been blocked.

For those once in deep conversation with someone, but recently found only radio silence - there’s a chance you may have been put on their restricted list. As the feature is used as a form of protection at the individual’s discretion, there is no way that you can reverse this unless they unblock you themselves.
