It said pending for me when my friend deleted her account and made a new one.
Are you seeing the "Snapchat Pending" notification?
Here are the different things this could mean on Snapchat:
- It could be that the user hasn't confirmed your Snapchat friend request. This is especially likely if you only recently sent them a Snapchat friend request.
- If you've been friends for a while and sent Snapchats to each other before, it could just be that the internet connection (either with your phone, or with theirs) is having some problems.
In this case, the message will change from "pending" to "sent" once the signal is strong enough to transfer the Snapchat image file.
What I found is that it helps to close and then relaunch the Snapchat app when this happens. It forces the app to check for updates on the internet connection situation. - If you try this and it still doesn't work, it could be that you have been blocked by this user.
I know it's the last thing you probably want to hear, but it is one of the possibilities.
