What Exactly is the Snapchat Score?
The Snapchat Score is a special metric that appears below your username on your profile. It simply represents the total number of Snaps you‘ve sent and received since creating your account.
Every time you send a Snap, you get 1 point. Every time you open a Snap, you get 1 point. These points accumulate over your entire time using Snapchat to create your Score.
So if you send 10 Snaps and receive 15 Snaps in one day, your Score will increase by 25 points. Pretty straightforward, right?
Of course, not all activities in Snapchat add to your Score. Here‘s a quick breakdown of what does and doesn‘t count:
What Adds to Your Snap Score
- Sending a Snap photo or video (+1 point)
- Posting a Snapchat Story (+1 point)
- Opening a Snap from a friend (+1 point)
- Maintaining a Snapstreak (+1 bonus point per streak per day)
What Does NOT Add to Your Score
- Sending a Chat message (0 points)
- Receiving a Chat message (0 points)
- Replaying a Snap (0 points)
- Viewing a friend‘s Story (0 points)
As you can see, it‘s all about the Snaps! With every Snap sent and opened, your Score inches higher.
Now let‘s get into why you should care about boosting your Score, and how to get it up quickly.
Why Should You Try to Increase Your Snapchat Score?
Having a high Score shows you use Snapchat frequently and have lots of connections. But besides just flexing your Snapchat muscles, here are 3 main benefits:
1. Unlock Snapchat Trophy Emojis
For major milestones, Snapchat rewards you with trophy emoji icons that appear next to your Score. They start at 10 points for the baby emoji, and go all the way up to the ghost emoji at 500,000 points. It‘s fun to collect them all!
2. Possible Future Rewards
Snapchat may offer special rewards like trophies, filters, or profile perks to those with exceptional Scores down the line. They haven‘t yet, but the potential is there!
3. Sense of Pride and Accomplishment
Finally, some people just enjoy seeing their Score go up over time. It‘s intrinsically motivating and satisfying for dedicated Snapchatters.
Average Snapchat Score Stats
To put your personal Score into perspective, here are the typical ranges:
- 0 – 10,000 points: New or infrequent Snapchat user
- 10,000 – 100,000 points: Active Snapchat user
- 100,000 – 500,000 points: Very active user
- 500,000+ points: Extremely active Snapchat power user
According to Snapchat, the average user sends about 34 Snaps per day. So over a year, that would give a Score around 12,000.
But of course, it depends how Snap-happy you and your friends are! With smart strategies, you can reach 100,000+ points in a year.
5 Simple Ways to Increase Your Snap Score Fast
Ready to step up your Snap game and watch your Score rise? Try these proven tactics:
1. Send Individual Snaps to All Your Friends
The most obvious move is to send more Snaps. But don‘t just mass-blast the same Snap to everyone, as that counts as 1 point. Send a unique Snap to each friend for maximum points.
Take a couple minutes to send 10-20 personalized Snaps every day, and watch your Score increase exponentially.
2. Always Open Every Snap You Receive
You get points for opening Snaps too! So never let a Snap from a friend sit unopened. Be sure to view each one to get the full Score benefit. Open Snaps as soon as you can.
3. Post Snaps to Your Story Frequently
Your Story sticks around for 24 hours, giving all your friends a chance to view it. And you earn 1 point per Story post! Get in the habit of sharing a few Stories each day.
4. Maintain Your Snapstreaks
A Snapstreak occurs when you and a friend Snaps back and forth at least once every 24 hours for 3+ days. Maintaining streaks earns you a bonus point per streak per day beyond the first 3 days. Multiple long streaks easily rack up points.
5. Add More Snapchat Friends
More friends equals more people to Snap with! Look for contacts in your phone who use Snapchat and add them. Ask for Snap usernames in real life. Take advantage of the "Quick Add" section to find mutual friends.
Advanced Tips for Power Users
Once you‘ve mastered the basics, try these next-level strategies to skyrocket your score into the 100Ks and beyond:
-
Host a Snap Score competition among friends – see who can achieve the biggest Score increase in a week. The competition will motivate everyone to engage more.
-
Respond to Chat messages with Snaps rather than more Chat messages. Photos and videos add points.
-
Post public Stories with relevant Snapchat lenses to attract viewers outside your friends list, and earn extra points when random people view your Story.
-
Leverage Snap Map Explore to discover and connect with new Snapchatters in your area or worldwide. More friends equals more Snaps sent and received!
-
Utilize Snapchat Groups to efficiently send Snaps to multiple people at once, while still earning points for each recipient.
At the end of the day, consistency is key. Make Snapchatting a daily habit and watch your coveted Score rise naturally over time. Happy snapping!
