Recently, Snapchat has also added the Snapstreak feature, where users are committed to sending someone at least one Snap (photo or video) within 24 hours daily. However, some users reportedly had their Snapstreak lost and are wondering how to restore Snap streak. In this guide, we’ll show you ways to recover your Snapstreak once they’re lost for no reason. Read this guide to learn more.
How Does a Snapstreak Work in Snapchat?
Before going straight to Snap Streak recovery methods, we’ll get to the basics first. Snapchat implements Snapstreaks to help grow your friendship and engagement with another user. Keeping a Streak alive is a team effort and can be an unspoken agreement once you’re already comfortable with each other. After exchanging Snaps with a friend every 24 hours for three consecutive days, you’ll get your first Snapstreak. It will be represented by a Fire emoji on your friend’s name, along with the number of days the Streak has lasted. Here are some tips to keep a Streak alive:
Send a Snap to your friend at least one time every day. Photos, videos, and messages from your Memories will not be counted. They can be video-only and there is a method to turn off camera audio in Snapchat. Receive and open a Snap from your friend at least once in that same 24-hour range. Receive and send Snaps from the same user or individual—contents from group messages will not count.
