Snapchat is a mobile app that allows you to send pictures and videos to friends that can only be viewed once. You can also send instant messages and even video chat live. One of the most beloved features of Snapchat is the Snapchat Streak.
What Is A Snapchat Streak?
Snapchat users may notice a fire emoji next to some of their friends names in snapchat. The fire emoji represents a streak. A streak in snapchat is defined as three days in a row in which you and a friend snap each other. The number next to the streak tells you how many consecutive days you and a friend have snapped each other. The fire emoji streak will appear when you have snapped three days in a row. Once you have started a streak the goal is to keep the streak alive for as long as possible. Many people try to keep their streaks going for as long as possible. Sometimes the streaks will end even if you have still snapped the person. Below you will find the answer to why did my snapchat streak disappear.
How to Keep A Snapchat Streak Going For as Long as Possible
Snapchat streaks are lead a delicate existence. For this reason it is important that you nurture your Snapchat streaks and be extra sure that you follow these steps every day.
- Be sure to send your Snapchats early so that the recipients have plenty of time to respond.
- Send multiple Snapchats to the recipients so that there does not happen to be a glitch in the algorithm.
- Send snaps that the recipients are going to respond to (not mandatory but helpful).
- Watch out for the Hourglass Emoji. This means the streak is almost up.
- Remind your friends to Snap back if they don’t want the streak to end.
- Don’t forget. Don’t get caught up in your day and forget to send snaps.
Why Did My Snapchat Streak Disappear?
There are a number of different ways a snapchat streak can end. The most common way for a streak on snapchat to disappear is because someone didn’t remember to snap. It only takes one missed day for a snapchat streak to end. Sometimes your snapchat streak will end even if you snap someone. This is because your either you or your friend didn’t snap back or reply to your snap. Even if you snap your friend your streak could still end. It is unfortunate but one slip up could end your 300+ day streak on snapchat. Snapchat streaks are fun to keep going. So when one disappears it makes you want to get a higher streak on snapchat.
How do I Know if My Snapchat Streak is About to End? What Does The Hourglass Emoji Mean on Snapchat?
Snapchat will give you a heads up if your two hundred day long streak is in jeopardy of ending. If you look at the emojis next to the conversations, right next to the streak emoji with the number you will see an hourglass emoji gif appear. The gif will show the hour glass turning over and sand running through it. This is the sign that it has nearly been 24 hours since you have snapped that person and your streak will disappear soon. If you see this hourglass emoji it is important that you get a snap sent to that person as soon as possible and let them know that if they do not reply in time, your precious streak will be over. If you have to send them a text or call them to reply.
How Long Was The Longest Snapchat Streak Ever? World Record Snapchat Streak?
Many people have made it their goal to have the longest Snapchat streak possible. Some people actually determine the strength of their friendships by the length of their Snapchat streak. Regardless of the reason for the fascination with the Snapchat Streak, they are extremely fun to maintain and keep going. There have been a number of extremely long Snapchat streaks recorded throughout Snapchat’s recent history; however, there can only be one world record Snapchat streak. The longest Snapchat streak ever recorded ended on January 15th, 2018. The streak lasted for 921 days. That is nearly three years of sending Snapchat’s almost every day.
Do Snapchat Chats Count Toward My Snapchat Streak?
A common question asked about Snapchat streaks asks “do chats on Snapchat count toward my Snapchat Streak?” The answer to this question is no. The only way that you can maintain a streak on Snapchat is to send snaps (pictures) back and forth. If you or the recipient does not snap back within a 24 hour period, the streak will end and disappear.
Comment below how long your longest Snapchat streak is right now. Maybe you can beat the world record!
Happy Snapping!

The
Me and my friend snap chatted each other yesterday and we reached a 99 snap streak. Today was meant to be our 100th day but it just disappeared, this doesn’t make sense as I wake up early to do my streaks and do them every day. I’m even doing my other friends streaks while they’re on holiday, I’m not pleased about this I’ve seen many people who have the same problem so maybe snapchat should fix the streaks a bit?
Jay

No, just as long as you remember to somehow snap them back within 24 hours to keep the streak going

By reading your comments I just realised something. Depending on where you live the time zones will be different than snapchats (I’m not sure how it works because it’s done on a 24 time zone) Make sure you snap every day and night and it will garentue to work
