When your Snap Score goes up by 2 (or small amounts like 1 or 2), it means you've sent or received a Snap, posted a Story, or engaged in other activities like maintaining streaks, with the exact points depending on factors like streaks, filters, and if you're a Snapchat+ user; these updates often come in batches and aren't always instant. An increase of 2 points often signifies sending/receiving a standard Snap or getting points for a story, with higher scores potentially seeing more points per action.
You get one point for every snap you send to a friend. When you send a snap to 7 friends, you get 7 points. It doesn't matter if your snap is a photo or video.
If someone opens up a snap your score will increase by one even if you're not active.
Snap score goes up by: You sending a snap. Someone opening a snap you sent. Every time someone views your story.

If someone's Snap Score increases but they haven't responded to your messages, it could indicate they're active on Snapchat but not necessarily that they're ignoring you. Snap Scores increase when a user sends or views photo and video Snaps, but not from text chats.
It increases based on Snaps sent, Snaps received, Stories posted, and overall engagement.
There's no way to hide your Snapscore completely.
You can also make it harder for other Snapchat users to find your profile, send you friend requests, or chat with you. The only way to completely ensure that someone doesn't see your Snapscore is to remove them as your friend and set Contact Me to friends only.
How to Increase Your Snapchat Score
A Snapscore is determined by the number of Snaps you receive and send, posted Stories, and a few other factors kept secret by Snapchat. While your own Snapscore is updated quickly, you may see a delay when checking the Snapscore of others. This can lead to some inaccuracies in activity.

On Snapchat, the 🔥 Fire emoji means you're on a Snapstreak, sending Snaps back and forth daily, with the number beside it showing days; the ⌛️ Hourglass emoji means your streak is about to end in less than four hours, prompting you to send a Snap quickly to keep it going.
The score only goes up when you send or receive photo and video Snaps, post stories, or engage with other features designed around Snaps. To grow your score, focus on sending Snaps, opening the ones you receive, maintaining streaks, and staying active with stories.
Your Snapchat score is determined by a super-secret, special equation that combines the number of Snaps you've sent and received, the Stories you've posted, and a couple other factors. You can always check your Snapchat score under your name on the Profile screen.
Your Snap Score may increase when you receive snaps—even if you don't open them—but the bigger impact comes from opening and sending snaps.
Monitor Their Snap Score for Clues
This number goes up when they send or receive snaps or post stories (not the text chatting!). So, what does that tell you? If you notice their score suddenly jumping, they've probably been snapping someone new, or snapping frequently.
Why does his Snap score keep increasing if he's not replying to my snaps? His Snap score might be increasing due to his activity with other friends, maintaining streaks, using automated tools, or technical glitches. It doesn't necessarily mean he's ignoring you.
On a Snapchat Story, the 👀 (eyes) emoji is the Rewatch Indicator, showing how many times friends have rewatched your Story, but only for Snapchat+ subscribers; users who pay for the service on private or custom Stories, not public ones; the number next to the eyes indicates the total replays, not the specific viewers. It's a feature for Snapchat+ members; paying users of the app to see if their content got extra views, like someone replaying a funny moment.
