There are also exceptions to this, like when the Snapchat app is having a glitch but know that these reasons cannot happen simultaneously. Whatever reasons it is would be deciphered in this article because, by the time you’re done reading, you’ll learn why exactly the grey box pops up beside your chat and what it means. Let’s go!
What Does The Grey Box Mean on Snapchat?
A grey box usually pops up close to a chat when you have never snapped with the person. Most times, you’ll find a “Tap to chat” text written beside it. You’ll also find a grey box close to chat when the user has blocked you or when a friend request you sent has not been accepted. So most times, it just means that the person is not part of your contacts. Finally, a grey box symbol also shows up when action on Snapchat is pending.
How To Respond to Grey Box on Snapchat?
The best way to fix pending messages is by checking your internet connection. To confirm that it truly is an issue of bad internet connection, make use of the Snapchat grey arrow check message. But this is not necessarily a reliable way to check someone’s friendship status on Snapchat. It would be better to send a regular message to confirm if you’re still friends on snap chat. And when it’s not a case of pending issues or blocking, you’ll have to wait on your connections to either accept you as a friend or unblock you. If you want to take it a step further, you can send your connection a message on other apps to find out why you have been blocked and if you need to make amends in some way. However, try not to bug them; they will probably unblock you whenever they are ready.
What Is The Difference Between Grey Box And Grey Arrow on Snapchat?
Even though they mean slightly the same things and indicate a pending action, the grey box, and grey arrow indicate different things. A grey box indicates that you’re chatting with someone who doesn’t have you on their friends’ list, while the grey arrow icon highlights messages and snaps you sent to connections that are not your friends on Snapchat. It is safe to say that they are just used as indicators on Snapchat because message types vary with colors.
Other Indicators on Snapchat

Unfilled purple boxes indicate that the recipient viewed your Snap with audio.A filled and unfilled blue box: When your blue box is filled, your Snap without audio was sent to the recipient but hasn’t been viewed. But when you have an unfilled blue box, the chat you sent was received and viewed by the recipient.
Conclusion
There you have it, the Greybox on Snapchat serves as an indicator showing you if your messages were duly received and viewed by the recipient or not. Also, remember that you also find a grey box on your Snapchat app when there’s been a glitch in the app.
