Snapchat Will Now Enable Users to Restore Snap Streaks
Snapchat has announced a new offering which will enable users to restore their Snap streaks, which could actually be a very popular option, considering the social value of streaks among Snap’s user base.
As per Snapchat:
“Since 2016, Snapchatters have celebrated the friendships they nurture daily with Snap Streaks with pals near and far. But, life gets busy, camping trips and exams come up, and bad service or phones-down time means that sometimes you just need a day to pause. A lost Snap Streak doesn’t mean your friendship has gone cold, so starting today, we’re making it easier to take a break with a new feature we’re testing to let you reignite the spark and restore one Streak for free with just one tap.”

As you can see in these screenshots, users will soon be shown a pop-up option to restore a streak, with a ‘Restore’ symbol also displayed in your chat inbox.
And as Snap notes, you’ll be able to restore a chat for free, one time. But beyond that, it’ll cost you.
Once you use up your free restore, you’ll have the option to buy additional restores, for 99 cents each time, which will provide another way for Snap to add incremental revenue. Read More…
