In this guide, we will see a little bit more about Snapchat Streak. We will also see what you can do about lost Snap Streak or if is there any way to get Snapchat Streak back.
A Brief Note On Snapchat
If you aren’t familiar with Snapchat, then it is a very popular instant messaging application, where users can send “Snaps” to their friends. Snaps can be anything from texts, photos, or videos. But photo Snaps are by far the most common ones. The interesting point about these “Snaps” is that they disappear within seconds after the receiver opens them. These disappearing messages are what made Snapchat stand out among other messaging apps. There are several more features of Snapchat such as Story, Snap Score, Group Chats, etc.
What Is Snapchat Streak?
Coming to Snapchat Streak (also known as Snap Streak or simply Streak), it is a measure of your engagement with a particular friend on Snapchat. If you and your friend have been sending Snaps to each other within 24 hours for more than three days, then your Snapchat Streak comes into action. The Streak continues as long as you and your friend send Snaps without fail. After the first three days, Snapchat places a fire or flame emoji (🔥) next to your friend’s name indicating that a Streak is in progress. There will also be a number next to the fire icon. This number indicates how many days you and your friend have been in the Snapchat Streak. Starting a Streak with a Snapchat friend is very simple. But there are some rules to maintain Snapchat Streak. First of all, both you and your friend have to send Snaps to each other at least once within 24 hours. When we say Snaps, it means only Photos and Videos. Also, you have to send Snaps from the Snapchat camera. You cannot send photos or videos from your camera roll to keep the Streak going on. Text messages do not count in Streak. Snaps that you sent in a group chat also do not count. If the last time you or your friend messaged is getting close to 24 hours, an hourglass emoji (⌛️) appears next to your friend’s name. This indicates that your Streak is about to expire. Snapchat also places 100 emoji (💯) next to your friend’s name if both of you are involved in a 100-day Streak (very impressive).
What Is The Significance Of Snapchat Streak?
Strictly speaking, there is no significance to Snapchat Streak. It is just a fun game between friends to make a friendly wager or competition and see who has very close friends, who has a higher Streak, or who can main the Snapchat Streak for a long time. The only way to increase Snapchat Streak is to continue sending and receiving Snaps with your friends.
Is Your Snap Streak Lost?
Is your Snap Streak Lost? Yes. There is a possibility that you might lose your Snapchat Streak if you do not maintain it. Speaking of maintaining Streak, all you have to do is send a Snap to your friend and your friend should also send you back one. Make sure that you send/receive Snaps every 24 hours if you don’t want to lose the Streak. Both you and your friend must be active in order to maintain the Streak. If either one of your stops sending Snaps, then your Snapchat Streak will be lost. Also, follow the rules that we mentioned before to maintain the Snap Streak.
Can You Get Lost Snapchat Streak Back?
If you or your friend did not send a Snap to each other in the last 24 hours, then you will lose your Snap Streak. If this is the case, then there is no way to get back the lost Streak. You have to start once again. But if you are sure that both you and your friend are actively sending each other Snaps, even sent in the last 24 hours, and still lost your Snapchat Streak, then this might be a glitch from Snapchat’s end.
What To Do In This Case? Is The Snap Streak Lost Forever?
The only thing you can do in this situation is to contact Snapchat. There is a dedicated section in the Snapchat Support Page for lost Snapchat Streak. Here’s the link to Snapchat’s Contact Us page. Select the “I lost my Snapstreak” option. As soon as you select this option, you will get a form below. Fill out all the details such as Username, Email ID, Mobile Number, Your Device, Friend’s Username, etc. In the end, there is a “Description” with a large text box. We recommend you to provide all the details with the maximum possible information in this field so that Snapchat can look into it. Once you send this form, Snapchat will review it and get back to you in a week’s period (give or take). If your request is legitimate and the error is on Snapchat’s end, then they will restore your Streak. But in case they find that you did not follow the rules of Snapchat Streak (missed the deadline or did not send Snaps, etc.), then you will not get your Snap Streak back.
Conclusion
Snapchat has several interesting features. Some are quite large such as its Stories while others are small such as Snap Score or Snapstreak. Speaking of Snapstreak, it is a clever tactic to keep users returning every 24 hours and sending Snaps to their friends. In this guide, we saw some basics of Snapchat and Snapchat Streak. After that, we saw the importance of Steak, how to maintain it, and some rules that you must follow. We also saw what can you do if your Snap Streak is lost. If you lost your Snap Streak by missing the deadline (you and your friend must send each other Snaps and not texts in the last 24 hours), then there is nothing you can do. But if you lost your Snapstreak due to a problem at Snapchat (a bug or Server problem), then you can send a request to Snapchat asking them to review your case and restore your lost Snap Streak.
