RS on Snapchat stands for “Retake Streak.” It is commonly used when someone sends a snap to maintain or restart a Snapstreak—a feature that tracks how many consecutive days two people have snapped each other. In everyday use, “RS” is a quick reminder to keep the streak alive.
Origins of RS
The slang “RS” emerged from Snapchat’s unique culture of Snapstreaks, which reward consistency between friends.
Since streaks are a popular way to stay connected, users began shortening phrases like “Retake Streak” or “Reply Streak” to just RS for convenience. It quickly became part of Snapchat’s lingo, especially among teens and young adults.
