Add the unblocked Snapchat user to your friends list. Depending on the person’s privacy settings, you may need to add them back to your friends list (and wait for them to add them back) before you can talk to each other. ^{[2] X Research Source}

You can add contacts by searching for their username or scanning their Snapcode.
Sometimes you need to wait up to 24 hours if you want to re-add someone you’ve removed from your friends list.
