Snapchat’s entertainment feature is Snapstreak. Snapstreak allows you to send at least one photo and video every 24 hours to someone. You aim to maintain a daily exchange in order to earn the highest streak score.
Snapchat sends an alert to its users when their streak is about to end (closer to 24 hours). Sometimes, however, it’s impossible to keep your streak. Learn how to repair your streak if this happens to you.
Our FAQs provide information on how to get your Snapstreak back and what the streak score is for the longest streak.
Snapchat: How to get a streak back
Sometimes Snapstreaks happen for reasons beyond one’s control.
To begin the recovery process, if you feel you have been following the Snapstreak rules correctly and your streak has ended in error, you can do the following:
- Sign in to Snapchat by opening Snapchat
- Tap “Settings.” Scroll down to the bottom and go to “Supports”.
- Tap “I Need Help” and then “Snapstreaks”.
- Select “Let’s know” from the “What if Snapstreak is gone?” menu.
- Select “My Snapstreaks disappeared.”
- Give as much detail as possible when filling out the form.
- To submit your form, click “Send”.
Snapchat will not be able to assist if the hourglass emoji was used before your streak ended. You can however strengthen your case and recover it by filling out the “What information should I know” section.
Or visit the Snapchats support page
- Go to Snapchat Support.
- Click “Contact Us”
- Under the “How can you help” section, choose “My Snapstreaks are gone.”
- Fill out the form as completely as possible.
- To submit, tap “Send”.
Snapchat may not be able to help if the hourglass emoji was displayed before your streak ended. The “What information should I know” section will help you support your claim for recovery.
