This project automates sending daily Snapchat Streaks, the feature where two friends keep a running count by sending each other a photo every day. Instead of a person opening the app and tapping through it manually, a Python script controls an Android device or emulator and does the tapping for you, cycling through a folder of local photos and sending them to a chosen Snapchat friend group each day. The script talks to Android over ADB, a tool developers use to send commands to a phone or emulator from a computer. It supports three kinds of Android environment: a regular emulator like LDPlayer, a real Android phone connected by cable, or a headless Docker container running ReDroid, which is Android running inside a container with no screen. Coordinates for where to tap on the screen, the ADB connection details, and the name of the Snapchat friend group are stored in a plain configuration file that the user edits to match their own setup. Setup differs depending on which environment you pick. For a regular emulator, you enable virtualization in your computer's BIOS, install LDPlayer, and sideload the Snapchat app if the Google Play sign in path is blocked. For the headless Docker route, you start a ReDroid container, connect to it with ADB, and use a screen mirroring tool the first time to log into Snapchat and set up the friend group, since the container itself has no display. Once configured, the script can be run once to test it, run continuously as a background process, or scheduled to run automatically every day using Windows Task Scheduler. The tool only works with Android and does not support iPhones, since it depends on ADB and an Android environment to control. This is a personal automation script written for a specific, narrow purpose rather than a general product, so it assumes the user is comfortable following technical setup steps involving emulators, Docker, or a physical device.
