Earning a Snapstreak is one of the most well-known things to do on one of the most popular platforms called Snapchat. The thing happens when you and one other friend have sent snaps to each other within 24 hours for at least there consecutive days. Once the three days mark has passed, you and your friend will get a fire emoji next to your names.
For those who have been on streak with your friend for 10 days, then you will be able to see the fire emoji with the number 10 next to it. Basically, the number beside the fire emoji means the day you have been on a Snapstreak. Keeping up a Snapstreak is not only about you bit also you friend. It means nothing if you snap your friend and within 24 hours that one does not snap you back. In this kind of situation, you have lost your streak.
The Snapstreak is about to end when an hourglass emoji is seen beside to the name of your friend you are on the streak with. Basically, it means you have four hours left to send or to get a snap from that specific friend before the ongoing streak with them expires. If your run out of the time and the streak expires, you will not see the fire emoji or its number beside either of your names anymore and you will need to start your streak from the start again.
If you want to make sure your streak lives on with your friend for as long as possible, here are some tips that can help you to never lose out a Snapstreak again.
Tip 1
There is a feature in Snapchat known as Best Friends. This one automatically puts your most frequently contacts at the top of your My Friends or Send To list. In addition, there is also Recents that covers many of your friends that are not included in your best friends.
When you are running more than one streak, not all your best friends and recents will be running streaks with you, and you have to know the difference between your best friends and your streak friends. If not, you might be looking through your best friends and recents in order to find your streaks. The best friends list can be also changed so you will never know the time a new one may show up at the top.
In some cases, when there are ongoing streaks with some friends on Snapchat, it is also not easy to remember all those ones you have to maintain streaks with. In this case, it is better for you to make sure all of your streaks are at the top of your Friends list if you want to make sure that you are always on top of your streaks.
To do this, the names of your friends have to be edited. First of all, swipe right from the main screen to access all your groups and contacts. Next, find all the friends that you want to keep up your Snapstreaks with by pressing the search icon located in the top left.
The next thing that you will have to do is to tap on the name of your friend and you will start a chat with them. After that, press the hamburger menu in the top left corner and tap Edit Name. Do not forget to make sure the beginning of the name starts with “Aaa” and then tap Save.
From now on, every time you send a snap, all friends listed with the tag “Aaa” will show up at the top of your Friends list. Please tap and check all of them to maintain your streaks with them before sending the snap. By following the step, all your current streaks will be organized and you will never miss a Snapstreak with someone ever again.
Tip 2
Sending “Good morning” snap is one of the simplest methods to keep a Snapstreak. You are recommended to set a reminder or alarm on your phone to remind you to do this as soon as you wake up. With it, you have nothing to worry about remembering to keep up your streak later on in the day.
Feel free to send a warm message, cheerful greeting, or motivational quote directly to your friend. It is good because it is similar to greeting good morning to a stranger, neighbor, coworker, and so on. When they are greeted with “Good morning”, they will want to respond you with a “Good morning” back.
Tip 3
If you are in a situation when one or all of your Snapstreaks have gone away but you know you have sent a snap back and forth within the 24-hour window, then you are encouraged to report it to the Snapchat Support and they will rekindle your fire emoji with its number for you.
In order to make a report, firstly, go to the Snapchat Support at https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/i-need-help and tap on the bubble for My Snapchat isn’t working. From this step, they will respond with the question why it is not working. Please respond by tapping on the bubble for Snapstreaks from the list provided.
Afterward, Snapchat Support will go over the guidelines and rules for maintain a streak. If you believe that you have followed all of the guidelines for Snapstreaks, please tap on Yes beside the “Still need help?”. You will be asked to fill out a form. Please enter the information about your account, including the username and the username of your friend. In addition, you will also have to specify how long your streak was and what happened to you. Once everything is done, send it off and you will get a respond within 24 hours. If your missing streak is restored by Snapchat, it will reappear on your account and the account of your friend can also see everything as well.
