Snapchat is one of the most popular messaging apps that allows you to send text messages, images, and videos. The app has various effective features including filters, stickers, memories, and stories. It allows you to save images and videos for replaying and future sharing.

You can easily integrate Snapchat with other software to automate workflows. For instance, you want to automatically update the user ID of any new member added to your account, then you can connect Snapchat with Google Sheets and update information.

Coming to the app interface, it’s unlike other social media apps. It has no real navigation – swiping left or right gets you to switch the sections within the app. The actions and buttons in the app are controlled by icons without labels. Things with this app are not that intuitive as they are with Facebook, Instagram, and other social media apps.

What is Snapchat Score?

Open the Snapchat app on your phone. Notice the number beside your username. It might be 0 if you are just created your account or it may be in some thousands, if you are an active Snapchat user. Do you know this number is technically known as Snapchat Score?

Your Snapchat Score is the reflection of your Snapchat game. It keeps on changing as number of your Snaps sent and received changes on Snapchat.

Basically, it shows how active you are on the Snapchat app. You can view your Snapchat score by swiping down on the Snapchat camera screen and the numbers will be displayed beside your username.

If you want to automatically update your score in Google Sheets or want to manage email campaign or want to use score for any other task, you can integrate any software with Snapchat.

How does Snapchat Score Work?

As per Snapchat website, Snapchat Score depends on:

• Stories you post
• Number of snaps you receive
• Number of snaps you send

You get a point for sending and receiving a snap, but no points for just sending a message. You also get a point if you post a snap to your story, but there are no points for watching someone else’s story.

For any user, this score is used to unlock trophies on Snapchat that can be further used to earn special achievements in the form of emojis. For Snapchat,this score is basically meant for attracting and engaging maximum users.

How to Increase Snapchat Score?

We are here to teach you how to quickly increase your Snapchat score. You can send and open images and video snaps, as well as post stories to increase your snap score. Here are a few other things that you can do to improve your Snapchat score.

Find your current Snapchat score

You can find your Snapchat score in a few simple steps.

• Open your Snapchat profile
• Click on the profile icon in the top-left corner of the screen
• You will find the score below your name

You can click on the score to view a split of how many points have you got for sending and receiving the snaps.

Once you find out your Snapchat Score, you can plan how to increase your score in future. You need to keep regular track on your Snapchat score to see if your strategies are working or not.

Send multiple snaps at once

You send one snap to one friend and you get 1 point. That is how it works. So, if you will start sending snaps to multiple friends at once, it may get you an additional point. For example, you send a snap to 10 people, it may result in 10-11 points.

How to send multiple snaps at once?

Snapchat offers feature of sending one snap to multiple friends. Just tap the white ‘Send’ arrow and select the names from the list. Each friend you select will get this snap when you will click on the ‘Send’ arrow again.

Send snaps more often

Try send as many snaps as you can on regular basis (It does not mean you are sending snaps every hour!). It helps in improving your Snapchat Scpre on day-to-day basis.

If you are unable to send snaps regularly or your score stagnates after a few days, then we have a Snapchat Score hack for you! Shut down or log out from your Snapchat account for a few days. By doing this, Snapchat will reward you 6 gap rewards and it will add on to your Snapcahat Score once you come back.

Do not send direct messages

As we have already mentioned that sending and receiving “Snaps” help you in gaining the Snapchat points. You can only score higher with snaps sharing. Sending or receiving direct messages doesn’t help you bag points. So, try to avoid sending or opening the received chat messages.

Open unread snaps

You get one point for opening one snap. To open an unread snap, tap the purple button for videos or red button for images next to the sender’s name. Replaying any of these doesn’t get you any extra points.

Add snaps to your story

Try to add more snaps to your story. For every snap you add, you will get a point. Tap the ‘Send’ arrow button and then ‘My Story’ circle in the upper-left corner of the recipient’s screen to add a snap to your story.
