It can be a little daunting to navigate social media these days. With the amount of acronyms popping up all the time, it can be hard to keep up! Luckily, there are guides to better understanding what these acronyms and emojis stand for, to help you better understand what your friend is trying to say. In this article, we'll discuss what "S" means on Snapchat and how to respond to it.

If you’re confused because you received a blank snap with an “S” on it, don’t worry, you’re not alone. It turns out that the “S” on the snap stands for “Streaks.” Snapstreaks are Snapchat’s way of making sure you don’t forget your friends. Snapstreaks occur when two people send each other snaps for three days in a row.

The 'S' is used to tag a snap as a 'Streak' snap to distinguish it from a regular snap. Streaks on Snapchat are all the rage. While they don't give you superpowers, Streaks do give you bragging rights and a little flame 🔥 emoji next to your name on your friend's account.
