How do ‘Snapstreaks’ work on Snapchat

When you and your friends share snaps back and forth with each other at least once a day, every day, you’re on a Snapstreak. After a few days, you’ll notice a fire emoji on the Chat screen to indicate the ongoing streak.

The number accompanying the fire emoji indicates how many days old your Snapstreak is.

How to restore your lost ‘Snapstreak’ on Snapchat

First, check if your Snapstreak is eligible to be restored. Look for a “🔥 Restore” badge next to the Chat that was on a Snapstreak. If you see it, tap the Restore option and follow the instructions in the app to get your Snapstreak back.
