Easy way to hide your Snapchat score points from friends or unknown people

Points for Snapchat

Like it or not, Snapchat tracks all your in-app activities and adds the scores of those activities as achievements on a scorecard, known as Snapchat score points. It’s calculated based on snaps sent, snaps received, or snaps added to your stories. So, the more you score, the merrier, but if you dislike boasting about your achievements, especially the ones related to your social media activities, you can disable the feature just hiding your location on Snap Map.

Why can’t I see someone’s Snapchat score if we are friends?

When you cannot see someone’s Snapchat score, there’s a strong chance that the person has unfriended you. Snapchat does not notify you when someone unfriends or blocks you. However, you can verify this by sending a message to the person. If you see a gray Snapchat icon (an arrow) next to the message, it should ring the bell for you.

Hope that makes sense!
