Snapchat will now let you pause your Snap Streaks

Maintaining Snap Streaks – where you send a snap to your friend once every 24 hours – is really important to many Snapchat users. To capitalize on this fact, the company now allows users to pause their Snap streaks, so they don’t have to worry about breaking them if they decide not to access the app for a while.

Snapchat will allow users to pause a single streak for free during this testing phase.

“A lost Snap Streak doesn’t mean your friendship has gone cold, so starting today we’re making it easier to break with a new feature we’re testing to let you rekindle the spark and restore a Streak for free. with just a tap,” the company said in a statement.

The company said users will have “the ability to add more footage restores directly from the app”, and it will cost 99c per break in the US. Snap also mentioned that it will soon be rolling out the ability for Snapchat+ users to freeze footage. So basically people will have to pay both ways to maintain streaks.

Last month, the social network added a chatbot to its paid plan powered by OpenAI’s GPT technology.

At its Investor Day event in February, Snap said it now has more than 750 million monthly active users, including more than 2.5 million paid users. At the same time, he made announcements for creators and developers. The company said it was bringing ray tracing technology to developers to create lenses with realistic effects. Additionally, it rolled out features to make it easier for creators to use licensed sounds for their shots.
