How does Snapchat work?

In general, the more active you are in the Snapchat app, the higher your Snap Score. However, Snapchat’s vague algorithm doesn’t count every activity in your score, so it’s not that easy. As a result, most of the reasons why Snap scores go up are unknown to the general public.

How to get a higher snap score?

Here are four different tips that you can follow to increase your snap score:

1: Send more snaps

The fastest way you can increase your snap score is by sending more snaps. The best way is to find a friend who is also active on the Snapchat app. Every time you send snaps your score increases by a few points.

Your friend sending snaps will also contribute to the increase of the snap points. So if you and your friends start to send snaps several times a day then it is likely to grow your snap score.

However, keep in mind that sending snaps in group chats will not increase your snap score. This also applies to chat messages. So send snaps instead of sending chat messages.

2: Add new friends

As already mentioned earlier sending snaps to multiple friends is likely to grow your snap score fast, Adding new friends will help to that. It seems like a silly way to increase your snap score but Snapchat is a social media after all.

Here’s the fact, you’ll need to send multiple snaps to multiple friends per day. So if you take a funny snap, you can’t send the same snap to everyone. This does not increase your snap score. Snaps must be different for each friend to be prompted to reply.

3: Open snaps

Another way to boost your snap score fast is to open all the snaps you have received. Make sure to open and respond to the snaps whenever any of your friends send you the snaps.

Both sending and receiving snaps increase your snap scores so no matter the context open the snaps sent by your friends regularly in order to increase your snap score fast.

4: Keeping up with snap streaks

As mentioned earlier sending snaps regularly is necessary if you want to increase your snap score. If you start sending snaps regularly then you will maintain a thing called a snap streak which basically counts how many days in a row you and your friend have been sending snaps to each other.

Keeping up with the snap streaks will likely increase your snap score. To be precise, the longer the streak is the more it will help your Snapchat score increase.

Remember not sending snaps for more than a day will break the streak with your friend and you will have to start it all over again.

5: Watching discover videos

Sending too many snaps per day to increase your score is tiring. The thing is you can still increase your snap score without sending snaps.

You can hop into the Discover Section under your stories. There you will find a lot of videos from different creators that are tailored to your interests. Just by watching these videos, you can gain a lot of snap points without much effort from your side.

There are other ways to increase your scores like, Sending multiple snaps to multiple friends and Adding to your story. Finally, let’s talk about a few of FAQ’s.

FAQ’s

Can my snap score go down?

In short, NO. Your Snapchat will go up but fortunately, it won’t go down. Your snap score will likely not increase at all when you stop using Snapchat but it’s not possible to decrease the snap score. If you leave Snapchat you may gain a few of the points for joining back after being inactive for some time.

Why hasn’t my snap score been updated yet?

Your Snap Points do not update each time you submit a Snap or engage in an eligible activity. There’s almost always a delay when Snapchat updates your score. If you find that you’re following the steps above but your Snap Score stays the same for a few days, you can use the Help link in Snapchat settings for assistance.
