Does Ghost Mode Hide Your Snap Score?

The Snap Score is the total of the snaps you’ve sent and received, and it’s visible to your friends on Snapchat. However, when you enable Ghost Mode, it means that your location won’t be visible to others, but it doesn’t affect your Snap Score visibility.

This means that even if you have Ghost Mode turned on, your friends can still see your Snap Score. If you notice that your Snap Score is not visible to others, it may be due to a different issue or a temporary glitch.
