Wondered โ€œwhat do the emojis mean on Snapchat?โ€ Emojis appear next to Snapchat contact names and have the following meanings:

๐ŸŒŸ Gold Star โ€” Someone has replayed this person's snaps in the past 24 hours. They must have something interesting to show.

๐Ÿ’› Yellow Heart โ€” You are #1 best friends (#1 BFs) with each other. You send the most snaps to this person, and they send the most snaps to you.

โค๏ธ Red Heart โ€” You have been #1 BFs with each other for two weeks straight.

๐Ÿ’• Pink Hearts โ€” You have been #1 BFs with each other for two months straight. Dedication!

๐Ÿ‘ถ Baby โ€” You just became friends with this person.

๐Ÿ˜Ž Face With Sunglasses โ€” One of your best friends is one of their best friends. This means that you send a lot of snaps to someone that they also send a lot of snaps to.

๐Ÿ˜ฌ Grimacing Face โ€” Your #1 best friend is their #1 best friend. You send the most snaps to the same person that they do. Awkward.

๐Ÿ˜ Smirking Face โ€” You are one of their best friendsโ€ฆbut they are not a best friend of yours. You donโ€™t send them many snaps, but they send you a lot of snaps.

๐Ÿ˜Š Smiling Face โ€” Another best friend of yours. You send this person a lot of snaps. Not your #1 best friend, but they are up there.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Fire โ€” You are on a Snapstreak! You have snapped this person every day, and they have snapped you back. Increases with number of consecutive days.

๐Ÿ’ฏ Hundred โ€” 100 Day Snapstreak. The 100 emoji appears next to the fire when you snap back and forth with someone for one hundred days in a row.

โŒ› Hourglass โ€” Your Snapstreak is about to end. Quickly send another snap to keep it alive.

๐ŸŽ‚ Birthday Cake โ€” This friend has a birthday today. Only displays if friend has the Birthday Party feature enabled in settings.

Purple Zodiac Emojis

Users who have their birthday saved in Snapchat get a small purple emoji next to their name, corresponding to the relevant zodiac symbol for their date of birth.

Each zodiac emoji next to a Snapchat friend name represents a birthday in the following date ranges:

Chat Status

A smiling face emoji or Bitmoji appears as a status in chat to indicate the recipient has returned to view the chat. This changes to a blue unread-style dot when the recipient remains currently active.

Verification

Emojis previously showed next to Snapchat stories, as a way to verify accounts. This has been replaced by a star.
