If you’re a Snapchat user, we know how much a Snap Streak is important to you. Snap Streaks are not just about maintaining a higher score. They signify how close you are to a person. If your Snap Streak with a friend is a high number, it highlights the effort that both you and your friend made consistently towards each other.
Clicking and sharing pictures on an everyday basis without failing even once may seem like a cakewalk to many, but it’s not. Taking out time amongst your busy schedules for someone else once in a while is not a big deal. However, maintaining that ritual consistency gets difficult over time. Many factors may sweep in and pose an interruption in your daily snap sharing.
But if you were successful in maintaining a Snap Streak for a longer period with your friend and still lost it without there being any fault from your or your friend’s side, it is certainly a little heartbreaking. You lose all the effort that you and your friend put in together and hence have to start from scratch.
Snapchat does understand the value and emotions behind your effort and hence, provides a workaround for you to get your Snap Streak back in such cases. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to get your Snap Streak back in case you lost it due to a technical glitch or due to circumstances out of your control.
