The Snapchat Score is a measure of your activity and engagement on the app, calculated by a secret equation that combines the number of Snaps you've sent and received, the Stories you've posted, and other factors.

Your score will only increase when you send or receive a photo/video Snap, or when you post a Snap to your Story. Text chats do not count.

How Snapchat Score Works

The score is a running total of your activity. You can see your score on your profile page, right under your username. Tapping the score will reveal two numbers: the number of Snaps you have sent and the number you have received.

Key factors that contribute to your score include:

    Snaps Sent: You get points for every photo or video Snap you send to another user.

    Snaps Received: You get points for every Snap you open.

    Posting to Your Story: Posting a Snap to "My Story" adds to your score.

    Snap Streaks: Maintaining Snap Streaks requires daily activity (sending/receiving Snaps), which ensures consistent score growth.

    Bonus Points: Some sources theorize that you may receive a small bonus when you return to the app after a period of inactivity.

Quickest Ways to Boost Your Snap Score (Organically)

To quickly and safely increase your score without risking a ban from using third-party services, you need to maximize the number of Snaps sent in the shortest time.

    Mass Snap Inactive Accounts (The Shortcut Method):

        Create a new, quick Snap (a simple photo of a wall or ceiling works).

        Tap Send To and create a new Shortcut consisting of numerous friends, public figures, or even inactive accounts you have added.

        Send the Snap to this entire Shortcut list. You get a point for every user you send it to.

        Repeat: Immediately take another quick Snap and send it to the same Shortcut. Repeat this action as many times as you can. This is the fastest way to add hundreds of points per minute.

    Use Multi-Snap to a Shortcut:

        Use the Multi-Snap feature (tap and hold the capture button) to record multiple Snaps (up to 8-10 at once).

        Send all of these Snaps to the large Shortcut list you created. This action can grant a significant number of points in a single send, as each individual Snap counts.

    Maintain Daily Snap Streaks:

        Keep up your Snap Streaks with your active friends. This guarantees points daily from both sending and receiving Snaps, providing the most consistent long-term growth.

Note: The fastest "hacks" often involve using the app's features (like Shortcuts and Multi-Snap) to send basic, high-volume Snaps to a large, non-responsive list, as you don't have to wait for them to open the Snaps to get credit for sending.

What Doesn't Increase Your Score

Avoid wasting time on activities that do not contribute to your Snap Score:

    Sending/Receiving Text Chats: Text messages sent via the chat function do not count.

    Opening a Story: Viewing another user's Story does not increase your score.

    Watching Discover Content: Watching videos in the Discover tab does not directly increase your score.

    Sending the Same Snap to Multiple Friends: You do get credit for each recipient when sending a Snap, but Snapchat's algorithm may eventually limit the point gain if you send the exact same Snap to the same list of people too many times over a short period. The method above is effective because the points are registered per Snap sent.

    Third-Party Apps: Services or websites that promise to instantly boost your score are scams and can lead to your account being banned.
