On which social media platform can you have the most fun and have to worry the least about your data security and privacy? Yep, you guessed correctly; we’re talking about Snapchat. As long as you stay in your lane and don’t harass other users, you’re bound to have a great time there. ‘Snapchat was designed with a specific target audience: Gen Z and Millennials. However, all advertisers would know that it is challenging to appeal to the younger generations the same way you would the Boomers.
Youths today are more vocal and specific about their needs and wants. They want something sophisticated and well-thought but also flirtatious, light, and funny. They want to enjoy it but at no point should they have to think, “I’m having way too much fun. There much be a catch to this all.”
Since this catch generally comes in as a kick to the gut in the form of data leaks and harassment, Snapchat has worked hard to remove that issue from its roots. The main reason behind harassment is other users on the platform, so not much can be done there, but they did make an ironclad privacy policy.
To ensure all users have an enjoyable experience on the platform, they can always block or report any users who behave inappropriately or creepily.
Now all that was left was the fun part, and trust us when we say Snapchat left no stone unturned. There has never been a platform where media is the main form of communication. The primary theme of the platform is, in itself, a Unique Selling Point.
Think about it: through photos and videos, you can get your message across much more clearly than text, don’t you think? There’s always more that you could’ve said in a message or when you receive one, you always wonder what tone they might be using.
Snapstreaks were the only way you could make snaps better. While there’s no real sense in snapstreaks, users love them. Adults email Snapchat, asking to revive their streak for this one time, even though streaks have no value and take no skill or talent to make one.
Snapchat has kept its users longer than most would expect; let’s hope that never changes.
In today’s blog, we’ll discuss whether your Snapchat score will go up without opening snaps. Stick with us until this blog’s end to learn all about it.

It also includes your overall activity, like the amount of time you spend on the platform actively, the stories you send, users added to your account, and much more.
Users often compete with their friends for who has the highest snap score. On the other hand, some take pride in small snap scores because that apparently signifies they’ve busy lives and no time for social media. Well, to each their own.
