Alright, so, you wanna know about that there grey square on Snapchat, huh? It ain’t rocket science, let me tell ya. It’s just a little somethin’ Snapchat uses to tell you stuff. Don’t get all flustered about it.
What’s the big deal with this grey square thingy?
Well, it ain’t a big deal, really. It’s like, if you see it in your, uh, what do you call it, your “feed,” yeah, that thing, it might just mean a picture or one of them “stories” didn’t load up right. Like when your internet’s acting all wonky, you know? Kinda like when the TV gets all fuzzy.
- Sometimes it just means the darn thing didn’t load.
- Maybe your internet is slow as molasses.
- Or maybe Snapchat’s just being Snapchat, ya know?
Now, if you see that grey square in a chat, that’s a whole ‘nother story. It could mean a message didn’t go through, or maybe it’s just sittin’ there waitin’ to be opened. Like a letter you ain’t read yet. I ain’t tech savvy, but even I can figure that much out.
But hold on, there’s more to this grey square business.
Sometimes, that little square shows up next to someone’s name. Now, that’s when things get a bit more…interesting, I guess. It usually means you ain’t never sent no snaps to that person before. You know, like a stranger on the street. You wouldn’t just go up and start yappin’ at them, would ya? Same kinda thing here.
And sometimes, and this is the part nobody likes, it could mean someone blocked you. Yup, blocked you good. Like they slammed the door in your face. Or maybe they just haven’t accepted your friend request yet. They’re still thinkin’ about it, see? They’re probably busy milkin’ cows or somethin’.
So, what should you do about this grey square?
Well, not much, really. If it’s in your feed, just try refreshin’ it. If it’s in a chat, maybe send the message again. And if it’s next to someone’s name…well, that depends. If you think they blocked you, there ain’t much you can do about it. Just move on, I say. Plenty of fish in the sea, or whatever the young folks say these days.
Some folks are confused about it but it is really very simple, don’t you think so?
Look, this whole Snapchat thing is just for fun, ain’t it? Don’t go gettin’ your knickers in a twist over a little grey square. It’s just tellin’ you somethin’ simple. Didn’t load? Try again. Didn’t send? Send it again. Blocked ya? Eh, their loss. Life’s too short to worry about such things, I tell ya. Now go on, have fun with your little snaps and stories, and don’t let that grey square boss you around.
Now, to recap everything, here are some takeaways.
If you still can’t figure it out, ask one of them young’uns. They seem to know everything about these gadgets. Me? I’m just happy if I can make a phone call without pressin’ too many buttons. But that grey square? It ain’t nothin’ to lose sleep over, that’s for sure. It’s just a little something Snapchat uses to tell you if a message was sent, if a story was loaded or if you and that person have ever chatted before. Plain and simple.
