One of the privacy features that were recently introduced was the ability to hide your Snapchat score from unknown people.
If you don’t want to show your snap score anymore, here’s what you need to know:
Step 1: Open Snapchat
Navigate to your profile page. Do so by tapping on your profile icon.
Here, you’ll be able to see your Snapchat score below your bitmoji.
Step 2: Go To Snapchat Settings
Tap the gear-shaped icon on the upper right corner of the screen to access settings.
After you choose settings, scroll down to the Who Can section. Select Contact Me.
Change your profile visibility settings by selecting My Friends.
The desired changes in your settings will be saved automatically.
From now on, only those on your Snapchat friends list will be able to see your snap score.
But what if you don’t want a specific Snapchat friend to see your Snapchat score?
Hide Snapchat Score From Someone
If you don’t want a friend (or friends) to see your Snapchat score, you need to Remove Friend.
While drastic, it is the only solution.
Step 1: Open The Snapchat App
Open the app from the camera screen, access your chat list.
You can do so by tapping on the icon on the screen.
Step 2: Remove Friend
Find the person and tap on their profile. Tap the three dots icon to that person’s side or long-press their icon.
Then, select Block Friend or Select Remove Friend.
Once you remove that person, they won’t see your snap activity.
Why Hide Your Snapchat Score?
As a user, you want to hide your Snapchat score to avoid potential stalkers.
Maybe your ex is clingy, or you rather just do it for professional reasons or other factors.
Regardless, the only way to truly hide your Snapchat score is to disappear from a person’s friend list.
Note: Don’t confuse the Snap score with the Snapchat streak. The first one will keep track of all the contacts you’ve made on the app.
The latter refers to the number of snaps you’ve exchanged with friends.
What Does A Snapchat Score Of 0 Means?
It means that a user hasn’t had any activity. When they start posting again, they’ll gain scores.
As long as you see someone’s Snapchat score, it means that the specific person hasn’t deleted you from their friends’ list.
You can verify this by opening the chat and sending a message.
If the arrow appears as a grey Snapchat icon, it means that you are blocked from sending snaps to that person.
If you had a streak with that person before, the only thing that makes sense is that they deactivated their account.
How To See Someone’s Snap score?
Just visit their profile! You can access it through your friend list. You can do so by:
- Step 1: Open Snapchat
- Step 2: Tap menu (apparition symbol).
- Step 3: Once you choose menu, click on My Friends.
- Step 4: Click on any friend.
If you can’t see the score, it means that they blocked you.
Try writing to them on other social media platforms to comment about the issue.
Luckily, a good comment or apology can save your friendship.
