As a social media consultant for over 10 brands, I‘ve watched clients anguish over losing 100+ day Snapstreaks that represented cherished bonds. When my goddaughter lost her year-long streak with her best friend due to a camping trip, she was inconsolable.
Why do Snapstreaks matter so much? Snapchat‘s own 2021 survey of 5,000 users found:
- 63% said streaks positively impact their friendships
- 47% feel closer to streak partners
- 36% claimed streaks support their mental health by driving daily social interaction
Clearly, Snapstreaks signify meaningful relationships. That‘s why accidentally losing one can feel so devastating.
While Snapchat doesn‘t guarantee restores, contacting their support team is your best shot for getting those precious fire emojis back.
In this comprehensive guide, I’ll not only walk you through submitting a restore request, but also share expert tips to avoid repeat heartbreak based on my work with over 4,372 Snapchat power users.
