I would have deleted Snapchat a long time ago without the Streaks. The Snapchat feature makes me feel involved in my friends' lives even if they are miles away.

However, there were inevitable circumstances where I lost Snapchat streaks. Fortunately, there is a way to recover Snapchat streaks.

What is a sequence on Snapchat?

The Snapchat sequence begins when you and your friend send direct snaps to each other, and continue to do so for more than three consecutive days. After that, a fire symbol ( 🔥) appears next to the person's name, as well as the number of days in the sequence.

Snapchat rewards users with special emojis for crossing certain sequence thresholds, for example, a mountain emoji or a 100 number series emoji.

Snapchat Sequence Rules

Snapstreak's countdown continues as you and your friend send snapshots to each other within the 24-hour time frame. And by Snaps we mean taking a photo / video and sending it to the person.

Keep in mind that the items mentioned below do not count as a Snap for Snapstreak -

  • Chat or send stickers
  • Photos / videos selected from Memories or Camera Roll
  • Content sent via Shows
  • Clings to groups

While you'll likely see different emojis as you continue your Snapstreak for months on end, it's important to pay attention to the hourglass emoji (⌛️) next to the person's name. This means that your Snapchat Streak with them is about to expire. In this case, send a snapshot or have the person send you a snapshot.

How to restore lost Snapchat streaks?

Although Snapchat reminds you if a footage is about to break, sometimes you can't help it. And once it breaks, the standard procedure is to create the sequence from scratch.

But if the lost Snapchat footage meant the world to you, there is a way to get it back. You can start the Snapchat streak recovery process by following the steps mentioned below:

  1. Go to the Snapchat support page.
  2. Click on Contact Us.
  3. Choose "My Snapstreaks Are Disappeared" in the How Can We Help You section.
  4. Complete the Snapstreak questionnaire.
  5. Click Submit.

In the quiz, try to be as specific as possible, from entering the exact username to filling out the exact Snapstreak count. It's okay if you put an approximate value in case you can't remember it, but it shouldn't be too far from the original number.

Under the question "What information do we need to know" you can explain the reason for the loss of the sequence. Of course, you can prepare something like internet connection failure or the app was not working. The point here is to make Snapchat believe this is a real case.

But you don't have to make it a regular thing and only use it in extreme cases. Snapchat will likely deny more than two requests. Additionally, Snapchat will most likely recover your lost Snapchat streak with just one person, unless you have a legitimate case, so choose the longer one.

How do I get the Snapstreak to work?

Keep sending snapshots! It might sound like the worst advice, but it's what people often forget to do in an attempt to send a "perfect" image.

Often, Snapchat users wait for the right environment, the right dress, and the right makeup, and forget to send a snap later in the day. eventually lose the Snapchat footage. The trick is to keep sending snapshots, even if you have to click on the ceiling fan.

This is how users could get their Snapstreak back and keep your friendship symbol alive.
