What Is the Longest Snap Streak Ever? [Updated List + Tips to Keep Yours Going]

In the world of Snapchat, one number rules above all—the Snap Streak. Whether you're sending silly selfies or just a black screen with "streak" written on it, there's something exciting (and oddly addicting) about keeping that fire emoji alive.

But have you ever wondered: What’s the longest Snap Streak ever recorded? And how do some users manage to keep theirs going for years?

Let’s dive into the ultimate guide for Snap Streak lovers—including the longest streaks recorded, how streaks work, and pro tips to keep your streak alive.

🔥 What Is a Snap Streak?

A Snap Streak starts when you and a friend send each other Snaps (not chats) back and forth within 24 hours for three consecutive days. After that, you’ll see a fire (🔥) emoji next to their name—along with a number showing how many days you’ve been snapping.

➤ Important Snap Streak Rules:

• Only Snaps count (not chats, calls, or stories).

• Both users must send one Snap each every 24 hours.

• The streak dies if one person forgets—or loses the internet.

🎯 Pro Tip: Always send a snap (any snap!) before bedtime. Set a reminder!

💡 How to Keep Your Snap Streak Alive: 7 Smart Tips

Want to make it onto the list someday? Here are seven battle-tested tips to keep your Snap Streak burning bright:

1. Set Daily Reminders

Use your phone alarm or calendar to remind you to send that snap. Consistency is key!

2. Send Snaps Early in the Day

Don’t wait until midnight. The earlier you snap, the more time you have to catch a missed reply.

3. Send Simple Snaps

Busy? Just send a quick selfie, pet pic, or even a black screen with “Streak?”

4. Have a Backup Plan

Going camping or flying? Let your streak partner know. They can double up or snap you during travel hours.

5. Use the Snapchat “Hourglass”

Snapchat shows an hourglass ⌛ emoji when time’s almost up. Don’t ignore it!

6. Make Streaks a Habit

Pair it with another habit—like brushing your teeth or drinking your morning coffee.

7. Communicate With Your Streak Buddy

If your partner’s not committed, your streak won’t last. Stay in sync!

❌ What Happens If You Lose a Snap Streak?

If either person fails to send a snap within the 24-hour window, your streak will disappear—poof! 😢
