Bonus Tips To Never Lose A Snapchat Streak Again:
While the ultimate way to maintain your streaks is simply to enjoy exchanging snaps with friends regularly. However, few tips you can follow so that your snap streak never fizzles out, are mentioned below:
- Set a Schedule for S ending Snapchat Streaks
While you may be dedicated at sending out snaps every day, but 50% of the task depends on the receiver to keep streaks alive. So, try creating a time cycle, for instance make a routine to send a ‘Good Morning’ or ‘Good Night’ snap daily.
You can take help of Android or iPhone reminder apps to alert you every day about sending snaps!
- Keep an Eye Out for Hourglass Snapchat Symbol
Hourglass emoji alerts people about that more than 20 hours have passed since you send your last snap. And within few hours your snap streak is going to end. So, make sure to keep an eye out for that hourglass emoji and never miss a snap streak again!
- Gather all your Snap Streaks at the Top of the List
Snapchat by default keep your ‘close friends’ on the top of the list. However, if you are retaining several snap streaks at the same time it becomes very difficult to remember all of them. So, the trick is, edit the name of users and add ‘A’ or extra ‘AA’ in front of people’s name, so that alphabetically they hold place on the top.
To edit their name, launch Snapchat > long press the user that you’d like to change the name of > A pop-up screen will appear > click on Settings > and tap on ‘Edit Name’ option > add some extra ‘AA’ and press ‘Save’.
Now all the ongoing snap streaks will remain on top and you’ll be reminded to keep your streaks alive.
