How Does Your Snap Score Go Up
Your Snapchat score go up when you perform certain in-app activities.
Here is worth to note that Snapchat app rewards creativity above plain texting - for example, sending plain direct message does not increase your score but sending a Snap or continuing your snap streak does.
Snap score underneath the hood is not that difficult to figure out.
We did all the homework for you and listed down all the factors that play major role and help you increase your Snapchat score:
Sending Snaps
Everytime you send a Snap, your Snapchat score increase by 1 point.
If you stop using Snapchat for a few days and then come back to the app, sending your first snap will get you 6 points.
Keep in mind that score increases only when you send photo or video snaps.
Opening Snaps
In addition to sent snaps, receiving Snaps and opening them will also get you points! Every-time you open an unread Snap, you will be rewarded with 1 point.
Mind that you won’t get points for simply replying to Snaps.
Opening snaps also help your friends to gain their Snapchat score.
Posting Stories
When you make and post story, the score increases by one point.
The cool thing about Snapchat stories is that even if no one see your story, you still get the point.
Also, if you decide to delete your story at any point, the extra points will remain in your account
Snapchat Streaks
You will get bonus points for keeping your Snapchat streak up and opening other people streaks.
Seems like there is no fixed score and the reward is different for everyone.
What Does Not Increase Snapchat Score
- sending and receiving direct messages: Contrary to belief, sending and receiving direct messages does not increase your Snapscore.
- adding friends: yes, you read that right! Adding other people won’t increase your score. You can add celebrities from all around the world, that won’t move your score a single decimal! In order to get one point, the other side needs to accept your friend request.

How to see sent & received Snaps number?
To see how many Snaps you’ve sent and received, simply click on your avatar (profile icon) in upper left corner on the Snapchat camera screen.

How to Increase Snap Score Fast
Time for the meat of this article - here are couple of tips how you can increase your Snapchat score faster.
Send Snaps, lots of them
More snaps = more fun.
Send as many Snaps as possible, to as many as you can.
Mind that you can’t earn points by sending the same snap to multiple friends - so if you ran up to that famous celebrity on the street and made a photo, sharing it with all your friends won’t help - each snap needs to be unique.
Avoid sending text messages
As we mentioned earlier - sending text does not raise your Snapchat score.
So how can you use it to your advantage? Instead, tap top left corner and send a snap!
Have more friends
More friends = more opportunities to receive snaps.
Let your friends know that from now on you would like to receive photos or videos instead of text messages - this way you could rack up the score in the app faster.
Post stories
Even with small amount of friends to chat with, posting story is never a bad idea! You can cheat here a little and add snaps in a row, gaining additional 1 point for each.
