What is Snapchat’s snap streak?
For those who are not very familiar with this, Snapchat Snap Streaks is a feature where users can maintain a streak of sending snaps to their friends consecutively for a certain number of days. To start a Snap Streak, two users need to send snaps to each other within 24 hours for at least three days in a row. Once a streak is established, a flame emoji appears next to the friend’s name, along with the number of days the streak has been going on.
To maintain the Snap Streak, both users need to send snaps to each other within 24 hours. If a snap is not sent within the 24-hour period, the streak will end, and the flame emoji will disappear. The longer the streak, the higher the number of days displayed next to the flame emoji.
Snapchat Snap Streaks is a popular feature among users, especially younger users who use it as a way to stay connected with their friends and to compete with each other for the highest streak count. However, it is important to note that Snap Streaks should not be prioritized over real-life responsibilities, such as schoolwork or other obligations.
