Snapchat is the most expressive social media platform as the app has a unique style of adding new features in the app. The app is full of emojis, color codes, and symbols to represent any feature of the app which makes it different. Apart from taking funny pictures and sending snaps to your friends to maintain streaks, Snapchat has many features to keep the users involved in the app. 

Streaks count, which is represented by a fire emoji, is the consecutive number of days you and your friends are sharing snaps. But what if your streak count breaks and you need to start it again? It wouldn’t remain that interesting, right? So keep reading to learn- how to get Snapchat streak back.

How Does A Snapchat Streak Work?

When you and a friend send each other a Snap every day for three days in a row, you start a Streak. After you’ve completed this, the name of that contact will have a fire symbol next to it, along with a count of the days the Streak has lasted.

The guidelines are straightforward: you must send that person a Snap every day. Within a day, they must reply to your Snap. Conversations are not taken into account. Snaps sent from Snapchat Spectacles or Memories don’t work either. Nor do video calls qualify. Videos sent via the Snap feature, however, do. A Snap does not count toward a Streak if it is sent to a group or added to My Story.

Is it Possible to Get the Streak Count Back?

Sometimes due to a busy schedule or any other reason, you may forget to send a streak to your friend, and as your streak finishes if any of you forget to send a snap or anything else (except text) within 24 hours. Before 4 hours or more from ending the streak count, the app converts the fire emoji to the hourglass to show you that your streak with a particular friend is about to end. 

If maintaining streaks matters to you to show your bonding with your best friend or you both are enjoying a high snap streak count, then there is good news for you. There are ways available that will help you in snap streak recovery.

How To Recover Snapchat Streaks?

Snapchat provides great facilities to support its customer base. That’s why the app provides recovery options for almost everything in the app (whichever is possible). To restore snap streaks, you get mainly two ways- an inbuilt function or an appeal to the Snapchat team. 

But before proceeding you should know there are some conditions before trying to restore lost streaks:

• Don’t make losing streaks a habit as the app provides a restore feature to the most generous contact and account only.
• A single contact can be restored per request for free.
• The inbuilt Restore button will appear after three days of losing streak count.

Let’s directly discuss both the ways for restoring streaks on Snapchat:

1. In-built option

In the Snapchat feed, you will see a Restore button in front of the contact name. You get 1 restore for free, snapchat+ users get 5 Restore for free, and for more, you have to pay $0.99.

2. Appeal to the Snapchat team

If the reason is genuine, the team will definitely help you get back your streak count. Follow the path to restore:

Snapchat Support > I lost my snapstreak > I lost my snapstreak > How do I restore it? > Snapstreak restoration request form.

fill the form with genuine information and wait for the reply.

Conclusion 

Make it a responsibility to keep streaks as the app is not going to restore it many times as it would lose the meaning of streak.
