What does Sandtimer mean on my snapchat. Anyone with an idea?
On Snapchat, “Sandtimer” refers to the hourglass icon that appears next to a friend’s name. It indicates that your Snapstreak with that friend is about to expire soon if you don’t send each other a Snap.
When I first started using Snapchat, I had no clue what the hourglass symbol meant and found it quite confusing I mean, who knew that hourglasses on a social media app could have such deep significance, right? But after some trial and error (and maybe a few lost Snapstreaks), I quickly learned that keeping those hourglasses from running out was crucial for maintaining those precious streaks. So, if you see a Sandtimer on Snapchat, it’s time to send a Snap to save your streak and keep the social media friendship alive!
It implies that you and your friend’s streak is about to end. A streak occurs when you and a friend send snaps back and forth for several days in a row.
The hourglass emoji (
) on Snapchat indicates that your Snapstreak with a friend is about to end. Here’s a detailed explanation:
- Snapstreak: A Snapstreak is a feature on Snapchat that tracks the consecutive days you and a friend have snapped each other. The streak increases each day you both send a snap, showing how long the streak has been maintained.
- Hourglass Emoji: When you see the hourglass emoji next to a friend’s name, it means your Snapstreak is in danger of ending. You and your friend have less than 24 hours (some users report around 4 hours) to send each other a snap to keep the streak going.
