Do streaks actually last 20 hours before a timer appears?

Hi there, When you send a snap (a photo or video), a timer icon appears at the top right corner of the screen. This timer indicates how long the recipient can view the snap before it disappears. You can set the viewing time for each snap, typically ranging from 1 to 10 seconds. After the time elapses, the snap is no longer viewable by the recipient.
The hourglass appears if haven’t sent a snap to someone recently. Snapstreaks run on a 24-hour cycle, meaning that you have 1 day to keep the streak alive. The timer resets every time you send a snap, so the 
pops up to let you know that you’re cutting it close and that the streak might run out.
It’s a reminder that you need to send a snap soon to maintain your streak.
