How to Restore Snapchat Streak Without Paying [2025 Guide]
Losing a long Snapchat streak can be frustrating, especially if you and your friend have been maintaining it for months or even years. The good news is that you don't always have to pay to get your streak back. Snapchat provides an official way to restore your streak for free if the loss was due to a technical issue or app error.
What is a Snapchat Streak?
A Snapchat Streak (or Snapstreak 🔥) starts when you and a friend send each other snaps (not chats) every day for at least three consecutive days. A fire emoji 🔥 appears next to your friend's name, along with the number of days the streak has lasted.
The streak will end if either person forgets to send a snap within 24 hours, unless restored.
Can You Restore Snapchat Streak Without Paying?
Yes, you can. Snapchat offers a free one-time streak restore per friend per year. After that, you may be prompted to pay. However, if your streak ended due to an error (like the snap not sending properly even when you sent it), you can request a free restoration through Snapchat Support.
Official Snapchat Statement on Streak Restoration
Sorry to hear you're having issues with Streaks. To keep a Streak going, you and your friend must both Snap (not Chat) each other at least every 24 hours.
If your Streak recently expired, but you still aren't able to restore your Streak in the app, please fill out the form below. After submitting a ticket, it may take up to 2 hours to receive a response at the email you provide on the form. Please do not submit another ticket until you've waited at least 2 hours for a response.
Important Notice
Be sure to double-check the spelling of your email address, your username, and your friend's username.
