If you are a regular user of Snapchat, you might have noticed a time glass or hourglass icon appearing next to your friend’s name. This icon usually appears when you are on a Snap Streak with a friend. But, what does it mean? And how long does the time glass last on Snapchat?
Let’s dive into it. When you are on a Snap Streak, you and your friend have been sending snaps back and forth to each other every 24 hours. The fire symbol next to the hourglass indicates that you are on a Snap Streak with your friend, and the number next to it shows how many consecutive days you’ve been on this Snap Streak.
Now, coming to the hourglass icon, it appears on both your and your friend’s account when you have about 24 hours left to continue your Snap Streak. It typically appears around hour 20. You will have only 4 hours to send a snap and receive it back from your friend. Once the time runs out, you will lose your Snap Streak, and the hourglass icon disappears.
But, what if you miss the hourglass icon and lose your Snap Streak? Don’t worry; Snapchat offers a way to restore your Snap Streak. You can submit a request for support by typing “Snap Streak Support” on Google and selecting the first option. There you can select “My Snap Streaks Disappeared” and enter the necessary details.
In conclusion, the time glass lasts for 24 hours, and you have only 4 hours to send and receive snaps within that time. Once the time is up, you lose your Snap Streak. However, you can restore it by submitting a request for support. We hope this clears all your doubts regarding the time glass on Snapchat.
