Ever wondered what that number next to your friend's name on Snapchat actually *means*? That's their Snap Score, and while Snapchat isn't super transparent about the exact formula, here's the lowdown on how it generally works.
Essentially, your Snap Score is a combination of all your Snapchat activity. It's *not* just the number of friends you have. Factors that contribute to your score include:
* **Sending Snaps:** This is a big one. The more you snap, the more your score increases.
* **Receiving Snaps:** Opening snaps sent to you also boosts your score.
* **Stories:** Posting to your story gives you points.
* **Snapchat Streaks:** Maintaining streaks with friends is a significant factor.
* **Other Activities:** There's speculation that other features, like using filters and discovering content, might also play a small role.
Importantly, simply texting someone through Snapchat *won't* raise your score. It's all about the visual content! While chasing a high score might seem appealing, remember that Snapchat is about connecting with friends, not just racking up points. So, snap away, have fun, and don't get too hung up on the numbers!
