Snapstreaks is one of the features, if not the only, that keeps [Snapchat](https://bestforandroid.com/android-apps/snapchat/ "Snapchat") users coming back to the app at least once every 24 hours.

That is because Snapchat requires a commitment where you and your friend are required to send a video or a photo snap to each other or a list of friends once every twenty-four hours.

The streak count increases with every passing day, making the Snapstreaks stronger. But if you or your friend forgot to send a snap within that period, then the streak will break.

Snapchat does show both it’s users an hourglass icon next to the username when streaks are about to be lost between you and your friend.

However, there are moments when life hits us, and we get so busy in our schedule, or sometimes we are out of internet connectivity that the streak breaks.

In those cases, Snapchat provides us with a contact form using which you or your friend can file an official request to restore Snapstreak.
