If you want to know how to increase your Snapchat score fast, the trick is to stop guessing and focus only on the actions Snapchat actually counts. The score is mostly a tally of snaps you send and receive, plus a few other activities.
Here is exactly what moves the number, what does nothing, and which score-boost shortcuts are scams to avoid.
What the Snapchat score actually is
Your Snapchat score is a single number that roughly reflects how active you are on the app. Snapchat keeps the exact formula private, but years of testing make the main inputs clear: it rises mostly from sending and receiving snaps, with smaller contributions from posting stories and overall activity.
What counts (and what does not)
Focus your effort here. These move the score:
- Sending snaps — photos and videos, not chat text messages.
- Receiving and opening snaps from friends.
- Posting to your story and staying generally active.
- Maintaining streaks, which keep a steady daily flow of snaps going.
What does not move it
Plain text chats, calls, and simply scrolling do not raise your score. Sending the same snap to ten friends counts more than one text to all of them — which is why mass-snapping is the fastest legitimate method.
Tactics to raise it fast
To move the number quickly without gaming anything:
- Send a snap to several close friends at once instead of texting.
- Open the snaps people send you promptly.
- Keep your active streaks alive every day.
- Post to your story daily to add steady activity.
Myths and scams to ignore
There is no hidden button, no overnight hack, and no app that safely multiplies your score. Third-party score-boost apps and websites ask for your login and then hijack the account or get it locked. Snapchat actively bans accounts caught using them.
If you want a bigger audience for your snaps and stories, grow it the real way — genuine followers and story views build reach that lasts, without risking your account.
If you want to grow faster, you can buy instagram followers from a real, active-account service and build momentum while you keep posting. For a deeper dive, read our guide on How to Make a Custom Snapchat Filter for an Event.
