Snapchat is widely used by people to share their moments with friends. Anyone can add you as a friend by your Snapchat username, unlike Facebook that requires a friend approval, i.e. they can see your Snapchat stories when they add you on Snapchat. If you want to prevent someone to view your stories, blocking them is essential. Snapchat enables you to block anyone on your friend list. Check out this guide on how to block someone on Snapchat.
You might be thinking that removing a friend from your friend list instead of blocking them can work the way out. But, what happens here is when you remove them, they still have you as a friend on their profile, so they can still see your Snapchat stories.
