All You Need to Know About Snapchat Streak Recovery

Snapchat is one of the most popular photo and video-sharing apps with over 363 million daily active users worldwide.

Part 1. What Is a Snapchat Streak?

Snapchat Streak (officially called Snapchatstreak) is when two Snapchat users keep sending snaps (photos or videos) to each other back and forth every day. A fire icon with the number count appears next to your friend's name and shows the number of days you and your friend are sending snaps to each other.

To begin a Snapchat Streak all you have to do is keep sending snaps to the other person every day for 3 consecutive days. The other person should also keep sending you snaps every day. Once the 3 days period is passed, you will see a fire icon next to that person's name with a number count of “3”. Afterward, you and your friend have to continue sending snaps every day to continue the streak. If one of you or both misses a single day, your Snapchat Streak will break. Once that happens, you have to contact Snapchat support to recover the Snapchat Streak (discussed in Part 3).

Part 2. Why Had Snapchat Streak Lost?

Before we jump on how to perform Snapchat streak recovery, it's important to learn what are some of the reasons you can lose your Snapchat Streak. The most common justification is that you or your friend forget to send a snap within the 24 hours period. In fact, Snapchat even alarms you that the streak is going to expire soon with an “hourglass” icon next to your friend's name. So, if 24 hours period is passed and still one of you didn't send the snap, then the streak will break.

Other than unintentional mistakes from your end, there are other reasons that can also cause losing Snapchat Streak. For example, you might have sent the snap, but the network connection is poor so the snap actually didn't send. Moreover, server issues or bugs/glitches in the app can also cause malfunction. In fact, many users have reported that they did send snaps to each other within 24 hours, but still, the streak was lost. In that case, mostly a bug in the app or Snapchat server can cause this malfunction. However, the good news is that there are very strong chances that you can still recover your lost Snapchat Streak easily.
