Snapchat emojis are special icons that show the type of relationship or interaction you have with other users based on how often you send Snaps and chat with them. These emojis help you see your Snapchat friendship status in a fun way.
Key Snapchat Friend Emojis and Their Meanings:
? Smile (Best Friends): This emoji means you send a lot of Snaps to this person, but it doesn’t mean you’re each other’s top friend.
? Yellow Heart (Besties): You and this person are each other’s #1 best friend on Snapchat — you snap each other the most.
❤️ Red Heart (BFF): You’ve been each other’s #1 best friend for 2 weeks straight.
? Two Pink Hearts (Super BFF): You’ve been each other’s #1 best friend for 2 months in a row — the ultimate Snapchat friendship.
? Sunglasses Face (Mutual Best Friends): One of your best friends is also their best friend.
? Grimace (Mutual Besties): Your #1 best friend is also their #1 best friend — common in close friend groups.
✌️ Peace Sign (Favorite Group): Your favorite group chat on Snapchat.
? Baby (New Friend): You recently added this person as a friend.
? Cake (Birthday): It’s your friend’s birthday!
? Gold Star: Someone other than you replayed your friend’s Snap in the last 24 hours.
? Fire (Snapstreak): You and this friend have snapped each other daily for at least 3 days in a row.
? 100 Emoji: You maintained a Snapstreak for 100 consecutive days.
⌛ Hourglass: Your Snapstreak with this friend is about to end (you have about 4 hours left to send a Snap).
Removed Emoji:
- ? Smirk (One-sided Best Friend): Used to mean you were their best friend but they weren’t yours. This emoji has been removed.
Zodiac Emojis (Purple icons):
Snapchat assigns zodiac sign emojis based on your birthday, showing your astrological sign next to your profile. For example, ♋ Cancer means your birthday is between June 21 and July 22.
Snapchat Planets (Snapchat Plus feature):
Planets represent your top friends ranked by interaction. The closest planet to the sun emoji means you interact most with that friend.
Customizing Friend Emojis:
Snapchat lets you change the default friend emojis in your settings if you want to personalize them, but the friend categories (best friend, new friend, etc.) stay the same.
