Here the answer to this question is a two-way answer. What I meant is that it’s a YES and NO answer.

Yes – Your snap score will go up if you’re the one sending out snaps to your friends. Your snap score will update after you send snaps

No – if you’re the one who is receiving a snap from a friend, your snap score won’t go without opening the snaps. Your snap score will only go up when you open the snaps you received.

Opening and replying to Snaps from your friends show more engagement and activity on the app, which may be rewarded with more points.

Also, as mentioned earlier, sending and receiving snaps is not the only factor that determines your Snap scores. Your snap score will go up faster when you engage in these activities and you must be an active user on Snapchat.

So, for your Snap score to go up, you have a engage in the snaps you received from your friends by opening them.

Can My Snap Score Earn Me A Verification Badge?

Those thinking if the snap score can earn your Snapchat verification badge. No, it won’t. Even if you have more than 200,000 snap score points, it won’t get Snapchat to add the gold star to your account.

Snap score is not a determining factor for Snapchat to verify your account.

Conclusion

Your snap score will only go up when you open and receive snaps sent to you by other Snapchat users. Other than snaps, if you engage in other factors that determine a snap score, such as posting stories and viewing your friends’ stories, maintaining your streaks, engaging in discovering content and others your snap score will still go up.

Sending the same snaps to all your friends won’t increase your snap score, you have to send them different snaps each time.
