Make sure they send you a Snap back within 24 hours. If your friend responds within the next 24 hours, a Snapstreak will be created and you will see a 🔥 emoji to the right of their name in the contacts list.
- Repeat these steps once a day to increase the length of your Snapstreak. A number will eventually appear next to the 🔥 emoji which represents the number of days your Snapstreak has been going on. Both you and your friend have to send a Snap to each other once a day to continue the streak.
- If you or your friend skips a day, a ⌛ icon will appear next to their name, indicating that your Snapstreak is at risk. If you or your friend don’t respond the following day, your Snapstreak will end and you will have to start over.
