What does the fire emoji mean?
When you and your friends Snap back and forth with each other at least once a day, every day, you’re on a Streak! Once you’ve kept it up long enough to start a Streak, you’ll see a fire emoji on the Chat screen.
What does the number next to the fire emoji mean?
The number next to the fire emoji shows how many days old your Streak is. For example, the number 3 with a fire emoji means that Streak is 3 days old.
How do I keep my Streak alive?
Keep sending photo or video Snaps back and forth every day with your friends, and your Streaks will keep growing.
When do Streaks expire?
If you see an hourglass emoji next to the Chat, your Streak is about to expire! To keep the Streak going, make sure you and your friends each send each other a photo or video Snap ASAP.
Why did I lose my Streak?
To keep Streak going with your friend, both of you need to send a photo or video Snap in the chat every day. If your Streak expired, then more than a day passed without a new Snap from everyone in the Chat.
To keep a Group Chat Streak going, most members of the group must send a photo or video Snap (not Chat) in the Group Chat every day.
Can I get my lost Streak back?
Yes – but for a limited time only. Look for the fire emoji button to tell if your Streak can be restored. For more information, see here.
