What Are Snapchat Friend Emojis?
Snapchat keeps a record of how often you message and interact with your friends. The app assigns emojis to these friends based on how often you interact with them. These emojis depict the current status of your friendship with other Snapchatters.
The emojis will change as you keep interacting with your friends. And if you don’t interact with a person for a while, the emoji(s) will likely disappear entirely. Only you can see your Friend emojis; they’re not public.
Snapchat Friend Emoji Meanings 2024
Snapchat has many friend emojis and each of them has its meaning. We have explained the meanings of all the Snapchat emojis below. Take a look at them.
1. Smile 😊
The smile emoji stands for ‘best friends.’ You’ll see it next to your friend’s name if the person is one of your friends.
However, it does not mean you are best friends with each other. So, if you often send snaps to some Snapchat users, you’ll see this emoji beside their names.
2. Yellow heart (Besties) 💛
You are #1 best friends (besties) with each other. It means you send the most snaps to this person, and they send you the most snaps too.
3. Red heart (BFF) ❤️
This emoji means you’ve been BFFs for two consecutive weeks. Therefore, if you’ve been interacting with some friends for two consecutive weeks, Snapchat will show the red heart next to their names.
4. Two Pink Hearts (Super BFF) 💕
When you see the two pink hearts next to a friend’s username, it means that this person has been your ‘Super BFF’ for 2 months in a row or your #1 best friend on Snapchat.
