Longest Snapchat Streaks & High Scores: Everything You Need to Know

Snapchat is a hugely popular app, especially among millennials, making it easy and fun to share pictures and videos—known as snaps. If you’re new to Snapchat, terms like “Snapchat score” and “Snapchat streak” might seem confusing.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know: from the top 30 longest Snapchat streaks ever, to how to start and maintain your streak, what streak emojis mean, how to submit your streak for recognition, and how the Snapchat score system works.

What is Snapchat and how long has Snapchat been around?

Snapchat is a mobile app created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, and developed by Snap Inc. It was first released in 2011. At the time of its release, it was a game-changer for social media applications as it offered something entirely different.

The unique element that Snapchat brought was the reminder of the ephemeral nature of memories. The photos or videos uploaded were meant to be temporary, lasting for just a few seconds. Users welcomed this feature and it quickly became one of the most-used apps.

When a user uploads a photo or video on their profile, this is only available for a brief period of time – only ten seconds. Of course, later on, Snapchat added the Stories feature, where the photo or video is accessible for the following 24 hours. Users can interact with each other with stickers and various filters.

Today, Snapchat continues to remain as popular as ever. More specifically, Snapchat has more than 186 million daily active users. Users tend to spend about 30 minutes in total in the app, and more than 4.75 billion snaps are created each day.

What is a Snapchat Streak?

A Snapchat streak, or Snap streak, is when you snap back and forth in 24 hours with another Snapchat user for at least three days in a row. After this happens, a fire emoji will appear beside this particular user’s name, as well as a number that represents the number of days that you have consecutively snapped each other.

In Simpler terms, what are streaks on Snapchat? They’re just a way to keep track of how many consecutive days you’ve sent snaps to a particular friend.

From the introduction of this feature, users loved it and they are now competing for the longest streak.

What does streaks mean on Snapchat?

Well, they can mean different things to different people. Some users see them as a fun challenge or competition, trying to maintain the longest snap streaks with as many friends as possible. Others simply use them as a way to stay connected with their closest friends on the platform.

Overall, while Snapchat streaks aren’t a crucial part of the app, they can be a fun way to engage with other users and feel like you’re part of a community.

How to Begin a Snapchat streak

This is the easiest part of the Snap Streak. All you need to do is send a snap to all the people who might be interested and wait for them to answer your snap within 24 hours. However, make sure that you approach the right people – the ones that are willing to send you a snap every single day. These people might be the ones that you usually interact with.

With the right people, you are one step closer to getting the longest streak! Want to know how? Below is the video explaining the how:

Rules of Snapchat streak

Beginning a Snapchat streak is easy, however maintaining it might be a little challenging, as not every interaction counts. So, here is a list of all the interactions that will not count for your snap streaks and might ruin it for you:

• Chat: Your text conversations with your friends will not count for your streak. So, even if you interact this way, keep in mind to also snap at him/her.
• Group Chat: It would be so easy to snap a great number of your friends, in order to keep your streak count with all of them. Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t allow it.
• Stories: Like chatting, stories will not count for your streak, as they should be sent to only one particular user.
• Memories: When you want to relive certain moments, you can share them once more like memories. However, remember that these don’t count for your streak.
• Spectacles: Snaps shared on Spectacles do not count for your streak.

Snapchat Streak Emojis

When you start a streak with someone, you’ll soon notice a fire emoji next to his/her username. However, this is not the only emoji connected to Snap streaks. The emojis that might appear next to the username of the person you have a snapping streak with are:

• Fire emoji: This emoji indicates that you’re on a Snapchat streak with this person.
• Hourglass emoji: When you see this emoji, be extra careful, as it means that your streak expires soon.
• 100 emoji: This emoji indicates that you and your Snapchat partner are on a roll, sending snaps for 100 or more consecutive days.
• Mountain emoji: This is a truly rare emoji to appear, and it’s used to indicate really long Snapchat streaks.

What is the longest Snapchat streak ever?

As of November 2025, the longest Snapchat streak is 4,030 days, held by Katie Barden and Erin New. They started their streak years ago and continue to hold the record for the longest ongoing streak on Snapchat.

Their streak began in April 2015 and has continued for over ten years, making it the longest-running friendship streak recorded on the platform.

(See the screenshot below of their 4,030-day streak.)

Who currently holds the Snapchat streak record?

The current record holders are Katie Barden and Erin New. While Snapchat does not provide an official public leaderboard, widespread community reporting and screenshots indicate that its streak is the longest known ongoing streak.

With so many daily active users and so many snaps sent every single day, keeping track of the highest score for the streak becomes a troublesome business. This would be easily solved by an official scoreboard within the app, but until then, users all over the world keep their own track.

According to the internet and the screenshots we received from these individuals, the users listed below hold the record for the longest streak.

What is the Snapchat Score?

The Snapchat Score-calculating system is quite elusive. It basically indicates your in-app activity, however, no one really knows what the algorithm is looking for in order to determine the number that you see. The Snapchat score doesn’t have any particular use, however, who doesn’t like seeing themselves scoring higher than their friends?

Factors that Influence the Snapchat Score

The Snapchat algorithm takes into consideration various data, in order to determine each individual score. All the data considered have to do with the amount of interaction that each user has within the application interface. So, the factors that influence Snapchat’s score are the following:

• Snaps sent and received
• The number of stories sent
• The number of users added
• Days of Snapchat streak with another user

Moreover, in special cases, bonus points are awarded. For example, if you haven’t used the app for a while, Snapchat will award you extra points when you use the app once again.

How to Improve Your Snapchat Score

From the factors mentioned above, it is easy to see that the only way to improve your Snapchat score is to use the application. If you are dedicated and make sure to post snaps and stories every day, you’ll quickly see your score increase.

As with the Snapchat streak, chat messages that you send with your friends don’t count for the improvement of your Snapchat score. What you have to do is send snaps to your friends.

Another thing that you need to keep in mind is that these snaps have to be unique for each user. So, group messaging won’t be able to help you once again.

Trophies you can Unlock with your Snapchat Score

In a similar manner to Snapchat streak emojis, you can unlock various trophies when your Snapchat score gets higher.

Namely, the seven trophies you can unlock by increasing your Snapchat score are the following:

• Baby Emoji – score of 10
• Glowing Star Emoji – score of 100
• Sparkles Emoji – score of 1,000
• Circled Star Emoji – score of 10,000
• Explosion Emoji – score of 50,000
• Rocket Emoji – score of 100,000
• Ghost Emoji – score of 500,000

Find your Snapchat Score

If you want to find out what your Snapchat score is, all you need to do is tap the Bitmoji icon in the top left of your screen. Your profile will pop up and you will see your username and your Snapchat score. It’s as simple as that!

If you want to see further information, such as how many snaps you have sent and how many you have received, you can tap on your score and see two different numbers appear. The one on the left represents the snaps you have sent, while the one on the right represents the snaps you have received.

In case you want to see where your friends stand in their Snapchat scores, you can just as easily find their scores. Open a chat window and press the three lines on top. This will open a new window with various information about your friend. One of those is their Snapchat score. However, you cannot see the snaps sent and received for your friends.

When your Snapchat Score isn’t Updating

If your Snapchat score isn’t getting any higher, even though it should be, don’t panic. There is always a simple solution. First of all, make sure that you use the latest update of the app. While older versions are usable, there might be some bugs.

If you use the latest update, just wait for a few hours. Your score might not be increased due to a glitch, something that will quickly get fixed.

Lastly, if the problem continues, get in touch with Snapchat support. They will look into your individual case, and they will find a solution for you.

FAQ:

Can Snapchat streaks be restored after they disappear?

Yes, you can contact Snapchat Support via the “My Snapstreak Disappeared” option in the app to request restoration if your streak ends unexpectedly.

Do group snaps count towards Snapchat streaks?

No, only direct one-on-one photo or video Snaps count toward maintaining a streak. Group Snaps, chat messages, and Memories don’t count.

What do the emojis next to Snapchat streaks mean?

The fire emoji 🔥 indicates an ongoing streak, the hourglass ⌛ warns your streak is about to expire, and other emojis like 100 show milestones in the streak.

How long can a Snapchat streak last?

There’s no official limit; streaks can continue indefinitely as long as users exchange Snaps daily.

Can Snapchat streaks be started with new friends, or only existing contacts?

You can start a streak with any Snapchat user as long as you both send photo or video Snaps to each other daily.
