Part 1 of 2: Learning Trophy Winning Basics
Step 1. Complete tasks on Snapchat to get trophies
The term trophy refers to the emoji added to the trophy cabinet on the profile page. You can earn them by doing certain tasks, and more powerful trophies can be earned by completing tasks that take longer. When you first see the trophy cabinet, most of the trophies are still locked and hidden.
Snapchat trophies are available for personal entertainment only, and have no direct bearing on the functionality of the app itself. Trophies obtained also do not necessarily provide access to additional features or rights, and only you can see the collection of trophies that have been obtained
Step 2. Check the trophies that have been obtained at this time
You can view the trophies you've won on your Snapchat profile page:
- Tap the ghost icon at the top of the Snapchat camera window.
- Touch the “Trophy” button at the top of the profile page.
- Touch a trophy to see its details. If there are several trophies in a set, you can see the lock icon for the trophies that have not been obtained.
Step 3. Keep checking the trophy cabinet for new trophies
Snapchat periodically adds new trophies that can be earned, usually when a new feature is launched. Check the trophy cabinet for new trophies hidden when Snapchat is updated.
