Increasing Your Snapchat Score

Are you curious about how Snapchat determines your Snapscore? The Snapchat score (Snapscore) is calculated using the number of Snaps sent and received and how often you post to your Story. While Snapchat keeps the other factors of your Snapscore a secret, it's likely that the score also takes into account how often you keep Snapstreaks, look at Spotlight content, and interact on the Discover page. It’s easy to check your score — it’s on your profile page! This wikiHow guide will teach you how Snapchat scores work, and give you expert tips for increasing your own Snapscore.

Things You Should Know

Snapscore is calculated using the number of Snaps sent/received, Story posts, and other hidden factors.

- The factors we know for sure (from the Snapchat support page):
  - Number of Snaps sent
  - Number of Snaps received
  - Posting Stories
- Factors that might influence the score:
  - Subscribing to content creators
  - Browsing and interacting with content on the Discover page
  - Looking at content on the Spotlight page
  - Keeping your Snapstreaks
  - Opening the app after not being on it for a significant amount of time may increase the score
