Snapchat streaks are a great way to socialize with your friends.
A streak is made when you and your friend have snapped each other for 3 consecutive days.
After which, a fire emoji (?) will appear next to your friend’s name with a number indicating how many days you’ve been on a Snapstreak (e.g. 12?).
If you have a lot of Snapchat streaks, sending snaps to all of them can be challenging.
This is because you’ll have to select all of your friends that you’re having a streak with individually.
But did you know that you can send a snap to multiple people in one tap?
In this guide, you’ll learn how to send all streaks at once on Snapchat so you never have to select users individually ever again.
How to send all streaks at once on Snapchat
To send all streaks at once on Snapchat, you need to create a shortcut and add all the users that you have a streak with to it.
After you’ve created a shortcut, you can send a snap to everyone in it in a single tap.
“Shortcuts” is a new feature on Snapchat that allows you to add your friends and groups to a list.
You can use Shortcuts to quickly select friends and groups to send a snap to.
If you are looking to send a snap to multiple users, you have to select them one by one.
With Shortcuts, you can send a snap to multiple users in a single tap.
All you have to do is to create a shortcut and add the users that you frequently send snaps to.
When you’re sending a snap, simply tap on the shortcut emoji, select all of the users, and send it by tapping on the arrow icon.
Below is a 4-step guide (with screenshots) on how you can do this:
- Snap something
- Tap on “Create Shortcut”
- Select the users that you have a streak with
- Select the shortcut and send the snap
1. Snap something
Open Snapchat, snap something, and tap on “Send To”.
The first step is to snap something on Snapchat.
Firstly, open Snapchat and navigate to the camera icon on the bottom navigation bar.
Once you’re on the Snapchat camera, take a photo or a video.
You’ll be sending the photo/video as a snap to your friends later on.
After you’ve taken the photo/video, you’ll see a “Send To” button at the bottom of your screen.
Tap on “Send To” to proceed to the sending options.
The sending options page allows you to select the users that you want to send the snap to.
However, you’re not required to send the snap just yet.
Instead, you’ll need to create a shortcut to allow you to send the snap to multiple users at once (or all of the users that you’re having a streak with).
It also mitigates the need for you to individually select the users each time that you want to send a snap to.
Proceed to the next step to learn how to create a shortcut on Snapchat.
2. Tap on “Create Shortcut”
Tap on “Create Shortcut” under the search bar to create a shortcut.
After you’ve tapped on the “Send To” button, you’ll land on the sending options page.
On the page, you’ll be able to see your stories (My Story, Our Story).
You’ll also see the users that you’ve recently sent a snap or a message to under “Recents”.
Typically, if you want to send a snap to multiple people, you’d have to select them individually by scrolling down your “Recents”.
Instead of selecting users individually, you can create a Shortcut.
“Shortcuts” allow you to add a group of users to a list.
If you frequently send snaps to the same users, you can add them to a Shortcut.
Once you’ve added them to a Shortcut, you can select all of those users with a single tap.
At the top of the page, you’ll see a “Create Shortcut” button.
To create a Shortcut, tap on “Create Shortcut”.
Move on to the next step to learn how to edit the Shortcut.
3. Select the users that you have a streak with
Choose an emoji > select the users that you have a streak with > tap on “Create Shortcut”.
After you’ve tapped on the “Create Shortcut” button, you’ll have to edit it.
At the top of the page, you’ll see a field that says “Choose Emoji”.
On the “Choose Emoji” field, you’ll have to choose an emoji that you want to use for the shortcut.
Tap on “Choose Emoji” and select an emoji on your emoji keyboard.
This emoji will be the image of the shortcut that you’re creating.
Secondly, you need to select all of the users that you’re having a streak with.
The users that you’re having a streak with will be indicated with a fire emoji.
Scroll down your recents and find all the users with a fire emoji.
Then, select each of them individually to add them to the shortcut.
You can also search for the users that you want to add to the shortcut by using the search feature at the top of the page.
Once you’re done adding the users that you’re having a streak with, tap on “Create Shortcut” to create the shortcut.
Proceed to the last step to learn how to send a snap to all of the users that you’re having a streak with at once.
4. Select the shortcut and send the snap
Select the emoji of the shortcut that you’ve just created > tap on “Select” > tap on the arrow to send the snap.
After you’ve tapped on “Create Shortcut”, the Shortcut will be created.
Then, you’ll land on the sending options page.
Instead of individually selecting the users that you’re having a streak with, you want to select the Shortcut that you’ve just created.
Below the search bar, you’ll see the emoji of the Shortcut that you’ve just created (e.g. ?).
Tap on the emoji to open the Shortcut.
Once the Shortcut is opened, you’ll see the list of users that you’ve added from the previous step.
Tap on “Select” to select all of the users.
If you want to deselect a user, simply tap on their tab.
Once you’ve selected all the users that you want to send the snap to, tap on the arrow icon to send it.
You’ve successfully learned how to send all streaks at once on Snapchat using Shortcuts!
Conclusion
If you haven’t taken advantage of Snapchat Shortcuts, you’re missing out.
With Shortcuts, you can easily send a snap to multiple users in a single tap.
This will save you a lot of time as you don’t have to select users individually again.
The best part about shortcuts is that you can edit them at any time.
When you’re sending a snap, simply tap on the “Shortcuts” button below the search bar.
Then, tap on the Shortcut that you want to edit and you can add or remove users.
Lastly, tap on “Save” to save the Shortcut and you’re good to go!
