How to get your Snapchat streak back (in just 4 easy steps)

We already know that Snapchat is constantly introducing new features, such as the ability to remix snaps and create custom filters to keep users interested. But one of the oldest features that enable daily user interaction on the platform is Snapchat Streaks (Snapstreaks).

If you’ve been sending Snaps regularly and still lost your Snapstreak, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you recover it.

What are Snapchat Stripes?

A Snapchat Streak is created when you and your friend send snaps to each other on a daily basis. When both of you share snaps on the platform at least once every 24 hours for 3 consecutive days, you will see a fire emoticon and a number next to it indicating the number of episodes.

Please note that texts, Snaps sent from Memories or Snapchat Spectacles, etc. do not count towards Snapchat Streaks. Only images/videos that are clicked on in the app and then shared with friends will be counted as valid for Snapchat Streaks.

What you need to know before returning your streak

There is no guarantee that your Snapchat streak will be restored after following the steps below. Especially if it’s not the first time you’ve contacted Snapchat support to get your Snapstreaks back.

Also, if you’ve lost Snapchat streaks for all your friends, you can only recover streaks for one contact at a time. As you already know, Snapchat will not process your request for multiple contacts, make sure you select the contact that is highest on your priority list first.

How to restore Snapchat stripes

If your Snapchat Streaks were lost due to delayed notifications or a Snapchat server crash, here’s how you can recover your Snapchat Streaks.

• Go to the Snapchat support page.
• See How can we help you? select I lost my Snapstreak.

• Now follow the instructions on the screen and fill in all the details. As mentioned earlier, you can only restore Snapstreak with one user at a time. If you have lost multiple snaps, you will have to repeat the process for each one multiple times.
• After that, click “Submit”and wait until the Snapchat representatives return.
