Snapscore: Tracks Your Snapchat Activity

A feature within the Snapchat app, Snapscore monitors your Snap sends and receives, displaying your connection's activity levels on the platform.

What is Snapscore?

Snapscore is a feature built into the popular messaging app Snapchat. It is a publicly displayed number for each Snapchat user that indicates their overall Snap activity on the platform. Specifically, Snapscore tallies up the total number of Snaps a user has ever sent and received since they joined Snapchat.

Every time a Snapchat user sends or receives a Snap, their Snapscore increases by one point. So users who regularly exchange Snaps with friends tend to have higher Snapscores. It essentially measures how active and engaged someone is on Snapchat by quantifying their lifetime Snaps sent and opened.

Snapscore is displayed next to a user's name on their profile screen. Most active Snapchatters check their own Snapscore and their friends' scores regularly as a way to compete over who is more active. Higher Snapscores tend to indicate power users who use the app throughout their day. The feature motivates Snapchatters to send more Snaps back and forth in order to increase their tally.

Since Snapscore is public, many users enjoy watching their scores steadily climb as their Snapchat usage increases over time. It becomes a mark of pride and status on the app. Some critics argue Snapscore encourages more mindless content creation and messaging solely to boost scores.
