Friend Emojis are a fun way to learn a little more about your friends on Snapchat! These change over time, based on how you interact with your friends.

So, what do all the different Friend Emojis mean?

? Gold Heart: You are Best Friends – You send the most Snaps to this Snapchatter, and they send the most Snaps to you too
Red Heart: You have been each other’s #1 Best Friend for at least 2 weeks
? Pink Hearts: You have been each other’s #1 Best Friend for at least 2 months
? Grimace: You share a Best Friend – Your Best Friend is also this Snapchatter’s Best Friend
? Smile: One of your Best Friends – This is a Snapchatter you send a lot of Snaps to (but isn’t your Best Friend)
? Sunglasses: You share a Close Friend – One of your Best Friends is also one of this Snapchatter’s Best Friends
? Smirk: You’re their Best Friend, but they aren’t your Best Friend – You’re someone they send the most Snaps to, but they aren’t someone you send Snaps to the most
? Fire: You’re on a Snapstreak! – Appears next to the number of days that you and a friend have Snapped each other. If you AND your friend don’t both send a Snap within 24 hours, you will lose your Snapstreaks
⌛️ Hourglass: Appears next to someone’s name if your Snapstreak is going to end soon. Send each other a Snap (not a Chat) to keep your streak alive
? Baby: You just became friends
? Birthday Cake: It’s your friend’s birthday – Appears next to your friend’s name on the date they entered as their birthday on Snapchat
