Maintaining Snap Streaks \u2014 where you send a snap to your friend once every 24 hours \u2014 is really important to a lot of Snapchat users. To bank on that fact, the company is now allowing users to pause their Snap streaks, so they don\u2019t have to worry about breaking them if they decide to not access the app for a while.<\/p>\n
Snapchat will let users pause only one streak for free during this test phase.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lost Snap Streak doesn\u2019t mean your friendship has gone cold, so starting today, we\u2019re making it easier to take a break with a new feature we\u2019re testing to let you reignite the spark and restore one Streak for free with just one tap,\u201d the company said in an announcement.<\/p>\n
The company said that users will have \u201cthe option to add more Streak Restores right from the app,\u201d and the will cost 99c per pause in the US. Snap also mentioned that it will soon roll out the ability for Snapchat+ users for freezing streaks. So essentially, people will have to pay either way to maintain streaks.<\/p>\n
