Your Snapchat score goes up primarily when you send and receive snaps. Every snap you send or receive adds points to your score. Additionally, posting snaps to your story and maintaining active snap streaks with friends also increases your score. Your score can also increase if others view your stories or add you as a friend. However, simply opening snaps sent to you without sending snaps yourself does not increase your score. The score updates are generally immediate but can sometimes take a few hours depending on the user or Snapchat's update cycle. Key ways your Snapchat score goes up:
- Sending snaps to friends
- Receiving snaps from friends
- Posting snaps to your story
- Maintaining snap streaks with others
- Getting new friend adds
Watching stories and chatting do not increase your score. Consistent and active usage, especially sending snaps regularly, is the best way to see your score increase over time.
