What Is A “Snap Score”?
Like a report card is a testament to how well you have performed in your exams, a snap score is a testament to how well you perform on Snapchat. If your daily activities on Snapchat are high then you will have a high snap score and vice versa.
Your snap score is basically a quantitative measure of how much engagement you have on Snapchat and how many activities you are carrying out daily.
Below are some factors that make your snap score:
- Number of snaps you send and receive in a day
- The number of friends on Snapchat also determines your snap score, the more number of friends you have more will be your snap score
- Snap score also depends on how frequently you have posted or viewed someone’s story.

Snapchat has millions of active users which can sometimes cause high traffic and server load on the app which could be the reason behind your frozen snap score
App maintenance could also lead to a slow server. You can check the Snapchat Support Twitter account to get an update on the current Snapchat service status and wait for Snapchat’s team to rectify the issue.

Close your app for some hours, restart your phone and check in the morning your may be able to see an upgrade.
