If you are trying to figure out how you can increase your Snap score, then we have you covered right here.

One of the biggest features of Snapchat is probably the Snapscore. Much like the name suggests, it is a score that reflects the activity of users on the app.

According to Snapchat, the Snapscore is calculated with a “super-secret, special equation,” which considers the snaps you have sent and received, Snapchat stories, and more. While the exact calculation is not known, it is no secret that you have to use Snapchat more to increase your score.

In this guide, we will show you different ways in which you can increase your Snap score and beat your friends.

Quick Answer

You can increase your Snapscore by sending and receiving more snaps, posting more stories, and overall using the app more. If you are a Snapchat Plus user, then you can turn on Snapscore Multiplier and boost your score by 2x.

How to get a higher snap score 

Here are a few things that you can try.

Method

1

Use the Snapscore multiplier

If you are a Snapchat Plus user or you are considering subscribing to it, then you can use the Snapscore multiplier feature. When you turn this on, your Snapscore increases 2x whenever you send or receive snaps from other Snapchat+ users.

To turn on the Snapscore multiplier – View your profile > Click on the Snapchat+ tab > Turn the Snapscore multiplier on.

Method

2

Send more snaps

Now, as mentioned earlier, one of the surefire ways to increase your Snapscore is to send more snaps. The more snaps you send, the higher your Snapscore goes. Plus, sending snaps is one of the easiest things you can do to boost your score. All you have to do is click a snap and send it to your friends.

Method

3

Maintain Snapstreaks

If you have been a Snapchat user for a while, then you might know what Snapstreaks are. Basically, a Snapstreak happens when you send and receive at least one snap in a day to a friend.

A Streak starts when you send and receive snaps to and from your friend twice. The number increases by 1 each you send and receive snaps. The Snapstreak is denoted by a flame emoji and has a number next to it.

Method

4

Post more stories

As mentioned earlier, Snapchat says that posting more stories contributes directly to the Snapscore.

To post a story quickly, click a picture > click on ‘Story’ > and the story will be posted. You can also post photos from Memories as stories.

5

Add more friends

Now, adding more friends may or may not add directly to your Snapscore. But if you add more friends, you will have more people to send and receive snaps from, more friends to maintain Streaks with, and more views for your story.

To add new friends quickly, you can head over to the Quick Add section, accept any pending requests or add from suggestions.

In addition to this, it is important to note that sending texts on Snapchat does not count towards the score. Further, if you return to Snapchat after a long time, your initial snap will earn 6 points.

How to see your Snapscore?

How high can my Snapchat Score go?

There is no upper limit to the Snap Score. It will keep increasing based on your Snapchat activities. Some Snapchat users have scores of hundreds and thousands. Why not see how high you can get yours?

Conclusion

To sum up, you can increase your Snapscore by using Snapchat more. But to boost it, you will have to send snaps, receive snaps, and post more stories. The more friends you have, the easier it becomes to up your score. If you are a Snapchat Plus user, you can turn on the Snapscore multiplier and boost your Snapscore by 2x.
