If so, how does Snapchat’s score work?.” Fret not, in this article; we will let you know how Snapchat’s score works.

Where Can You Find Snapchat’s Score In The App?

You might have already seen it – but in case you have not yet observed it, follow the steps below to find your Snapchat profile score.

1. Launch Snapchat.

• Factors For Snapchat Score

  Snapchat primarily considers the number of snaps you have sent and received to calculate the score. In other words, it monitors your usage – the more you are active, the more is the score.

  Your activity could include the trophies, stories, number of friends, and usage of other available features of the app.

• How To Increase Snapchat’s Score?

  Like we mentioned – increasing your activity will result in a higher score. And, as one of the factors being – “number of snaps sent” – it only counts the unique snaps sent. So, in other words, your Snapchat score will not increase by sending the same snap to multiple users.

  There’s no known hack/trick to increase your Snapchat score overnight; you will have to keep using the app like you do (more frequently) to watch your score increase.

• Benefits Of Snapchat Score

  There’s nothing surprising (except unlocking trophies) to earn when your Snapchat score increases. It is just a fun part of using a multimedia messaging app.

• How To Check The Snapchat Score Of Another User?

  You can only check the Snapchat score of your friends those who have added you back (or those who follow you). To do that, you need to just head on to the “Search” bar and then search for a particular friend. You can observe his/her snap score to the right of the username.
