That number underneath your profile name is your Snapchat score if you’ve been confused by it at all. But what is it? How do you increase your score on the messaging app? All will be revealed below. In this guide, we’ll let you in on the answer to “how do Snapchat points work?” Which will tell you what points are and how to earn them. Read on, then, to discover how to get Snapchat points and how to increase your Snapchat score quickly.
How do Snapchat points work?
According to the Snapchat Support page, Snapchat points are earned by sending and receiving Snaps, and posting Stories. The amount of points you earn for each Snap you send and Story you post, however, is “super-secret.” Snapchat adds up the number of Snaps you send and receive, the Stories you post, “and a couple other factors,” to determine your overall Snapchat score. Unfortunately, without the actual equation, we don’t know for certain how the points work and add up exactly. But, in essence, the more you use Snapchat to send Snaps and post Stories, the higher your Snapchat score will be.
How to get Snapchat points
- Send and receive Snaps
- Post Stories
- Each time you add a Snap to your Story, you will get another point
Above is the ways in which we know for sure that you can get Snapchat points. You can potentially get more points by doing the following:
- Maintain your Snapchat streaks
- Open Snapchat for the first time after some time spent away
- Send a Snap to @teamsnapchat
It’s not confirmed by Snapchat that the three suggestions above will work, however, but it’s worth a try if you want to up your score.
How to increase your Snapchat score quickly
To increase your Snapchat score quickly, you’ll want to send as many Snaps as you can, post and add to Stories, and try other means such as sending Snaps to @teamsnapchat and making sure your Snapchat streaks are being maintained.
