Ever wondered about what the number displayed on your Snapchat profile stands for?
Is it just an arbitrary entry or does it signify something special? We know that if something like that is present on all our profiles, it couldn’t just mean nothing. So in this article, we shall discuss all there is to know about that number displayed on your Snapchat profile, also called the ‘Snapchat Score’.
What is the Snapchat Score?
Since its creation, Snapchat has had this one feature to track your engagement on the app. Like all its social networking counterparts, the social networking site felt the need to include a feature to determine one’s engagement on the app. Though there is no real proved helpfulness fulfilled by that number, a higher Snapchat score means a more active and loyal user.
There are many ways to increase this score and get higher numbers displayed on your Snapchat profile. But before we get into that, it is important to know what the Snapchat Score consists of.
What does the Snapchat Score consist of?
Once you click on your Snapchat Score, you’ll see that it splits into two sets of numerals. The first number signifies the number of snaps you’ve sent on the app in total, the second number signifies the number of snaps you’ve received on the account. But you will find that adding up the two sets of numerals doesn’t conjure your total Snapchat Score.
This is because the Snapchat Score is also dependent on a number of other things than just the number of snaps you’ve sent and received such as how many stories you upload, how many users you interact with, and even how other users respond with your material. The higher your Snapchat score, the greater is your engagement on the application.
Snapchat uses a special equation to determine your Snapchat Score, this equation calculates on the basis of:
- The number of Snaps sent to other people.
- The number of Snaps received from other people.
- The number of Stories posted by the user.
- Creating fresh and new content. Try not to reuse your old content.
- Day-to-day interaction on the app.
There are also other things predetermined to help with your Snapchat Score but we are yet to receive information on this. Snapchat Creators have claimed that just interacting daily on the app is bound to increase your Snapchat Score!
