What is Snap Score?
/wp:heading
wp:paragraph
Your Snap Score is a number displayed on your Snapchat profile that represents how active you are on the platform.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
This number increases as you engage with Snapchat’s features, such as sending and receiving Snaps, posting Stories, and more.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
Although Snapchat doesn’t reveal its exact algorithm for calculating the Snap Score, we know that the more you use the app, the higher your score will climb.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
The Snap Score is a fun way to track your activity on Snapchat and indicates your involvement with the app.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
Users may see their own Snap Score and the scores of friends who have added them back.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
While it’s not an accurate indicator of popularity or social status, it can still be an interesting way to track how much you use Snapchat over time.

- Maintain Snapstreaks: One of the best ways to improve your Snap Score is to start and maintain Snapstreaks. A Snapstreak happens when you and a friend exchange Snaps for several days. The longer your Snapstreak, the bigger the boost to your score.

- Explore the App: Explore other Snapchat features, not just send and receive Snaps. Watch Discover videos, use Spotlight, try out fun filters, and engage with any new features Snapchat adds. These actions may provide additional points to your score.

Snapstreaks: A Key Factor in Boosting Your Score
/wp:heading
wp:paragraph
Maintaining a Snapstreak with friends is one of the most effective ways to increase your Snap Score.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
A Snapstreak begins when you and a friend send Snaps back and forth for at least three days.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
Once your streak reaches three days, it’s officially started, and you’ll see a fire emoji and the number of days after your friend’s name.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
To keep a Snapstreak alive, you and your friend must send a Snap to each other every 24 hours. The streak will end if either of you fails to send a Snap in that time.
/wp:paragraph
wp:paragraph
Longer streaks significantly boost your score, so it’s worth starting Snapstreaks with multiple friends. This encourages consistent Snapchat use, naturally leading to a higher score over time.

Your Snap Score is visible to your friends on Snapchat. You can view your score, as well as the scores of people who are on your friend list. Here’s how to check your friends’ scores:
/wp:paragraph

/wp:list-item
/wp:list
wp:paragraph
However, there are a few things to note:
/wp:paragraph
wp:list
- wp:list-item
- Only friends can see each other’s Snap Scores. If you can’t see someone’s score, they may not have added you back or removed you from their friend list.
/wp:list-item
/wp:list

/wp:paragraph
wp:list

- Your Snap Score isn’t a reflection of popularity. It’s a fun way to track activity, but it doesn’t define your social standing on Snapchat.
