Likewise, the developers of Snapchat release new features from time to time to keep their users happy.

Like your friends list on Facebook or your followers list on Instagram.

Snapchat Score — What is it? — How does it work? –>
Though, I won’t go into the details of the algorithm employed by Snapchat to calculate your Snapchat score, you may think of it as a score given to you by Snapchat based on your activity on the platform. This is done, in order to say start and continue a streak, or, to increase some sort of competion among peers, etc.
Your Snap score is located right next to your username and is not hidden from anyone, which means you can see other users’ scores, much like they can see yours. This score generally corresponds to the number of Snaps you have sent and received, Stories you have added, and certain other factors. So, let’s break it down a bit more for you to understand it in a better way:
- Each Snap you receive contributes one point to your Snapchat score.
- You also earn one Snapchat point for every Snap you send to another user.
- Not only that, even when you post a Snap to your Story, your Snapchat score increases by one point.
- Also, in case, you open Snapchat after a while and send a Snap, your Snap score will increase by six points.
Note: You do not get a point for texting or watching Stories on Snapchat.

How to increase your Snapchat score? –>
In this world of competition! where every guy is always in a constant state of tussle to get ahead of the other person, Snapchat also has a likely feature by the name Snapchat score. So, as in other cases, everybody wants to increase their score.
Many users start exchanging text messages assuming that this will help increase their Snap score, which isn’t the case. There are no extra points for this. Also, when sending Snaps, the trick is to send a separate Snap to each user, since sending the same picture or video to multiple users at once won’t earn you any extra points.
So, keep on sending/receiving snaps, posting Snaps to your Story and also being active on the platform to increase your obsessive Snapchat score.

Can your Snapchat score go up without opening Snaps? — A very pertinent question!
Indeed a very pertinent question, coming to me from a lot of people. Also, one of the instigating reasons that I am writing this post. So, in order to find out an answer to this, I first opened and checked my Snapchat score. Thereafter, I opened a Snap.
Now, when I opened a Snap my score increased by a point. Thus, confirming that opening a Snap increases my tally by 1. On the other hand, if you have unopened Snaps, your score will remain the same until you view them. So, if you think your Snapchat score is increasing even if you do not open any Snaps, it may be because you are still sending Snaps, posting to your Story, etc.

So, if your only concern is that your Snapchat score is visible to people who have not been added to your account, you can change the visibility settings of your profile. This way, no one but your friends can search for you on the platform and see your Snapchat score. Or, you may even block/remove the user whom you do not want to show your score.
