Snapchat, the popular multimedia instant messaging app that revolutionized the concept of disappearing images, has captured the attention of millions since its launch in 2011.
. Along with its unique features, Snapchat introduced emojis that appear next to friends’ names, adding a layer of communication and meaning to the platform.
If you’ve ever wondered about the significance of these emojis, here’s a breakdown of what they represent.
Snapchat Emojis: Unveiling Their Meanings
💛 Yellow Heart Emoji
When you spot a yellow heart next to a friend’s name, it means you and that user are each other’s number one best friends.
This emoji signifies that you exchange the most Snaps with this person, and they reciprocate by sending you the most snaps as well.
❤️ Red Heart Emoji
The red heart is an upgrade from the yellow heart. If you see this emoji next to a friend’s name, it indicates that you and that user have held the position of each other’s number one best friend for two consecutive weeks.
It signifies a consistent and strong Snap exchange.
💖 Pink Hearts Emoji
A friend’s name adorned with pink hearts signifies an even deeper connection.
If you spot this emoji next to a friend’s name, it means you and that user have been each other’s number one best friends for two consecutive months. It symbolizes a close and enduring friendship.
😊 Smiley Face Emoji
A smiley face emoji indicates that a specific user is one of your best friends on Snapchat, but they don’t hold the position of your number one best friend.
It implies a level of closeness and frequent interaction, although not at the highest level.
😬 Grimacing Face Emoji
The grimacing face emoji signifies “mutual besties.” When you see this emoji next to someone’s name, it means that your number one best friend is also their number one best friend. It indicates a shared connection and mutual friendship.
😎 Sunglasses Emoji
If you notice a sunglasses emoji next to a user’s name, it means that one of your best friends is also one of their best friends. This emoji highlights a common friendship connection between you and that person.
🔥 Fire Emoji
The fire emoji ignites the concept of a “Snapstreak.” When you encounter this emoji, it signifies that you and that person have been messaging each other every day, maintaining a consecutive Snap exchange.
The number next to the fire emoji represents the length of your Snapstreak.
⌛ Hourglass Emoji
The hourglass emoji serves as a reminder that your Snapstreak is running out of time. It indicates that you and your friend need to send a Snap to each other soon to maintain the streak. Don’t let time slip away!
🎂 Birthday Cake Emoji
The birthday cake emoji acts as a friendly reminder that it’s someone’s special day. It prompts you to send them a birthday message, ensuring you don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate with them.
Personalize Your Emojis
