What’s the biggest indicator of true friendship?
Feeling free to share all your deepest secrets? Sure.
But what’s the thing that really proves dedication to a friendship?
That’s right. Snapstreaks!
But wait… what are streaks on Snapchat?
Don’t you worry, friends, I’ll explain.
Snapchat is a big deal in popular culture, especially among young people - 82% those 18-24 use the platform daily. So, of course, the company has to keep them entertained somehow.
The Snapchat streak feature was introduced in 2015 and since then it has become a staple. It has the power to create and destroy friendships...No, really!
Want to try it for yourself?
Here's how:
Start sending Snaps with a certain friend daily. If you manage to do this for three consecutive days, you will start a streak. Sounds easy, but can you keep it going?
Let me tell you more about how Snapchat Snapstreaks work:
Once you’ve started a streak, it’s up to both you and your friend to continue sending each other Snaps. If you skip a day, the streak will be lost and you’ll have to start it all over again. If, of course, you don’t lose your friend as well. (Once again: it’s a big deal!)
In your inbox, next to the person's name, you'll see the amount of days you've kept it up for.
It’s important to mention that Snaps are the photos and videos you send. So sending a text message in the chatbox will not contribute to the Snapchat Streak.
Quick tip: Be creative with your Snaps. Lots of people send a black screen with a smiley emoticon to their friends every day to keep the chain going.
But that's not personal at all!
Does it matter that you've talked to someone for many days if "streaks" is the only thing you've said to each other?
There are a method and levels to this madness. They are marked via the Snapchat Streak emojis!
You might have a Streak with your best friend, for longer than 100 days, etc.
Here’s how to decode the emojis:
Here’s a pro tip - you can share a Snap with all your friends and keep up numerous Streaks at the same time.
Here’s the easiest way to do it:
Another way is to click the blue arrow and select your friends one by one.
There are ways to make your SC streaks more interesting.
The two most popular ones are filters and Bitmojis.
If you and your friend start sending each other snaps with a filter, you will get one with your snapstreaks in white numbers.
To pick a filter, first, take a Snap. Second, start swiping left or right to choose. Once you pick, send it to the person of choice.
Bitmoji launched it 2014. It can help you diversify your Snapchat streak emojis. It allows you to create your own personal stickes.
If you connect your accounts on both apps, you can find your Bitmojis when you click the sticker icon in camera mode. Tell your friend to download this application as well. This way you'll get Friendmojis!
So, what are streaks on Snapchat?
A feature that shows you the amount of days you’ve consistently Snapped a person.
It has become a symbol of commitment. The true badge of friendship. The ultimate stamp of loyalty.
You get the drill.
Now. Don’t you have Streaks to keep up with?
