How to Increase Your Snapchat Score Fast

Your Snapchat Score is a number that reflects how actively you use the app, and it goes up based on specific actions like sending and receiving snaps. Here is everything you need to know about how the score works and the fastest ways to increase it.

How Does Snapchat Score Work?

Snapchat calculates your score based on a combination of snaps sent, snaps received, stories posted, and other factors. Text messages in chat do not count toward your score. Only photo and video snaps contribute to the number.

1. To view your score, open Snapchat and tap your profile icon in the top left.
2. Your Snapchat Score is displayed below your username.
3. Tap the score to see a breakdown of snaps sent and received.

Method 1: Send Snaps to Multiple Friends

Each snap you send to a friend adds a point to your score. Sending the same snap to multiple friends at once is the fastest way to rack up points.

1. Take a photo or video snap.
2. Tap the Send button.
3. Select multiple friends from your contact list instead of just one.
4. Send the snap. You get a point for each person you send it to.
5. Repeat this throughout the day to quickly accumulate points.

Method 2: Open All Received Snaps

Receiving and opening snaps from friends also adds to your score. Make sure you open every snap you receive.

1. Check your Snapchat inbox regularly for new snaps.
2. Open every snap you receive instead of letting them sit unopened.
3. The more friends who send you snaps, the faster your score increases from receiving.

Method 3: Post Stories Regularly

Posting to your Snapchat Story also contributes to your score. Each story post adds points.

1. Take a snap and tap the Story icon (the plus sign with a page icon) instead of sending it to a friend.
2. Select My Story and tap Send.
3. Post multiple stories throughout the day for maximum score gain.

Method 4: Maintain Snapstreaks

Snapstreaks encourage daily snapping, which naturally increases your score over time. A streak starts when you and a friend send snaps to each other for at least three consecutive days.

1. Send at least one snap to your streak partners every day.
2. Make sure they send one back to keep the streak alive.
3. The fire emoji next to their name shows you have an active streak.
4. The hourglass emoji means your streak is about to expire and you need to send a snap soon.

Method 5: Add New Friends

Adding new friends gives you more people to exchange snaps with, which increases your score opportunities. Some users report that adding friends itself may add a small amount to your score.

1. Tap the Add Friends icon on the Snapchat home screen.
2. Add friends from your contacts, by username, or from the Quick Add suggestions.
3. Start exchanging snaps with your new friends.

Method 6: Send Video Snaps

Video snaps count toward your score just like photo snaps. Some users believe that video snaps may contribute slightly more to the score than photos.

1. Press and hold the capture button to record a video snap instead of a photo.
2. Send it to multiple friends at once.
3. Mix video and photo snaps throughout the day.

Method 7: Use Snapchat Daily

Consistency is key to building a high Snapchat score. Using the app every day, even just for a few minutes, keeps your score climbing steadily.

1. Make it a habit to send at least 10 to 20 snaps per day.
2. Open the app and check for received snaps at least twice a day.
3. Post at least one story per day.
4. Maintain all your active streaks.
5. Over time, these daily actions will significantly increase your score.
