How does Snapchat score work?

Want to know what Snapchat score, or Snap score, is and "how does Snapchat score work"?

Right now, Geeks Nation will explain what a Snap Score is, where to find your Snap Score, and more importantly, how it is calculated.

What is a Snap Score?

A "Snap score" is simply an indicator of users’ activity on the Snapchat social networking platform. In other words, it’s an indicator of how social and how active a user is on the Snapchat platform. The Snap score is displayed in the form of points.

So, how to find your Snap score?

For sure, it’s easy to find Snap scores! If you have never looked for your own Snap score before, here’s how to do so.

To know what your Snapchat score is, simply open the app on your device, then tap your Snapchat profile/Bitmoji picture in the top left corner of the screen. Now you can see your Snap score: it’s underneath your display name and in between your user name and your zodiac sign.

What about the Snap score of someone else? Can we find it? Yes, of course. It’s also simple to view someone else’s Snap score, and here it is:

1. Open the Snapchat app on your device.

2. Go to your conversation tab.

3. Find a friend that you want to see their Snap score.

4. Tap the profile/Bitmoji picture to open your friend’s profile. And you'll find your friend’s Snap score right under their display name.

That’s it! Simple and easy, right?

How does Snapchat score work?

According to the platform, Snap score is determined by, well …, "a super-secret, special equation" that incorporates all the ways a user uses Snapchat, including:

• The number of snaps you've sent.
• The number of snaps you've received.
• The number of Stories that you have posted and viewed.
• The number of Discover videos that you have watched.
• The number of friends you have
• …

There are, of course, more factors, but it’s unclear what all of them are.

Since Snap score increases by users’ in-app activity, the more stories you post, the more snaps you send and receive, …, the higher the Snap score you will get.

Can your Snap score go down?

Technically speaking, no. Your Snapchat score can’t go down. It just goes up.

That means you shouldn't lose any points, even if you stop being active on the platform. But it's important to note that glitches are sometimes reported where users' Snap scores go down.
