Snapchat is one of the most popular social media sites, especially among young adults, and there are plenty of unique features on the platform which youโ€™ll stumble upon while youโ€™re using it. One of those features is the Snapchat friend emoji, and youโ€™ve probably asked yourself: โ€œwhat do the Snapchat emojis mean?โ€

If youโ€™re an active Snapchat user youโ€™ve probably noticed these emojis before. They appear next to your friends names on you โ€œFriendsโ€ tab, and they can give you some interesting insights into the ways that both you and your friends interact with Snapchat.

In this post weโ€™re going to explain everything that you need to know about emojis on Snapchat in 2024, and weโ€™ll highlight what every Snapchat emoji means โ€“ a must-read if youโ€™re an active user like me. At the end of this post, weโ€™ll also go through the most commonly seen Snapchat icons and their meanings.ย

What Are Snapchat Emojis?

Snapchat emojis are a unique feature which tracks the way that both you and your Snapchat friends interact on the platform. The emoji that appears next to a user on Snapchatโ€™s โ€œFriendsโ€ tab can be affected by the length of time that youโ€™ve been friends, the frequency that you send each other snaps, and the other Snapchat users who you interact with frequently, to name a few.

When Snapchat launched they used a โ€œBest Friendsโ€ feature to display who you frequently interacted with (and who frequently interacted with you) โ€“ but this information was available publicly. It was essentially a simplified version of the emoji system that is currently in place, but you were able to tap on somebodyโ€™s profile and view the top 3 friends that they interacted with.

So, why did Snapchat decide to remove their โ€œBest Friendsโ€ system?

This is actually one of the main reasons why the โ€œBest Friendsโ€ system was removed by Snapchat. Several high-profile Snapchat users were becoming concerned about any breaches of privacy that might occur due to their Snapchat best friends being on display.

Personally, I believe that the Snapchat emoji feature that is in place today is much more user-friendly than the โ€œBest Friendsโ€ system โ€“ now you can use the platform without worrying about your usage patterns being known to the rest of your friends.

What Do the Snapchat Emojis Mean?

There are thirteen Snapchat emojis in total, and the actual emoji might differ slightly to the images that we will use in this article, depending on the operating system that you use for your mobile device.ย 

Okay, letโ€™s get started with the list of Snapchat Emojis.

Baby Face Emojiย ๐Ÿ‘ถ

1f476

Youโ€™ll see this Snapchat emoji on your friends list if youโ€™ve just added somebody to your friends list โ€“ if youโ€™re just getting started on Snapchat you can expect to see this emoji a lot.

Smile Emojiย ๐Ÿ˜Š

1f60a

This Snapchat emoji indicates that this user is one of your best friends. This means that you interact with them a lot on the platform โ€“ you send them a lot of snaps, and they send you a lot too, but they arenโ€™t your #1 best friend. If youโ€™re active on Snapchat you can expect to see several smile emojis in your friends list.

Grimace Emojiย ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

1f62c

If you see the grimace emoji it means that you share one of your best friends with this friend. That means that they interact a lot with somebody who you also interact with frequently.

Sunglasses Emojiย ๐Ÿ˜Ž

1f60e

The sunglasses emoji indicates that you share a โ€œclose friendโ€ with this person. A close friend is a Snapchatter who you send snaps to frequently, but not enough to be one of your best friends.

Smirk Emojiย ๐Ÿ˜

1f60f

If you see this emoji, it means that youโ€™re that personโ€™s best friend, but they arenโ€™t your best friend. Essentially this Snapchat emoji means that this person interacts with you the most, but they arenโ€™t somebody who you interact with the most.

Gold Heart Emojiย ๐Ÿ’›

1f49b

Congratulations! If you see this emoji on Snapchat it means that you two are best friends! You send this person the most snaps, and they send the most snaps to you too!

Red Heart Emojiย โค๏ธ

2764

This Snapchat emoji also indicates that you are best friends with this person, and you have been for at least two weeks โ€“ great work, itโ€™s tough to keep up that streak.

Pink Hearts Emojiย ๐Ÿ’•

1f495

Wow โ€“ if you see this emoji on your Snapchat friends list you deserve a pat on the back. This Snapchat emoji shows that youโ€™ve been best friends with that person for at least two months!

Fire Emojiย ๐Ÿ”ฅ

1f525

If you see the fire emoji on your friends list, it means that youโ€™re on a Snapstreak with that person.

A Snapstreak occurs when you and your friend have snapped each other for at least three days continuously. Youโ€™ll also see a number next to the flame emoji which indicates the number of days that your Snapstreak has been running for.

Bare in mind that a chat message wonโ€™t allow you to continue your Snapstreak โ€“ you need to send a snap if you want to keep those flames!

100 Emojiย ๐Ÿ’ฏ

1f4af

This is one of our favorite Snapchat emojis โ€“ the coveted 100. If you see a 100 emoji on your Snapchat friends list, get ready to take a screenshot, because youโ€™ve had a Snapstreak running with that person for 100 days in a row. Very impressive.

Hourglass Emojiย โŒ›

231b

If you see this Snapchat emoji, itโ€™s time to get snapping! The hourglass Snapchat emoji indicates that your Snapstreak is going to end very soon with this person. Donโ€™t worry though, just send them a snap and youโ€™ll continue your streak.

Like we mentioned earlier, chats wonโ€™t help you to keep a Snapstreak going, so make sure that you use that selfie camera instead!

Sparkle Emojiย โœจ

2728

Snapchat recently released Snapchat groups which allow you to send snaps and chat with multiple users, and the sparkle Snapchat emoji indicates that youโ€™re in a group with that user.

Birthday Cake Emojiย ๐ŸŽ‚

1f382

If youโ€™re scrolling down your friends list and you spot this emoji, itโ€™s their birthday! This Snapchat emoji will appear on the date that they entered as their birthday when they signed up on Snapchat, so feel free to send them a nice message on that day.

Purple Zodiac Emojis

Any Snapchat users who have entered in their birthday will receive a small purple zodiac emoji that corresponds to their relevant zodiac symbol. This Snapchat emoji is a little different from the previous ones that weโ€™ve mentioned โ€“ you can only view the purple zodiac emojis by tapping onto somebodies Snapchat profile. Letโ€™s take a look at what these purple zodiac Snapchat emojis represent.

โ™ˆ Aries (March 21 โ€“ April 20)
โ™‰ Taurus (April 21 โ€“ May 21)
โ™Š Geminiย  (May 22 โ€“ June 21)
โ™‹ Cancerย  (June 22 โ€“ July 22)
โ™Œ Leo (July 23 โ€“ August 22)
โ™ Virgoย  (August 23 โ€“ September 23)
โ™Ž Libraย  (September 24 โ€“ October 23)
โ™ Scorpius (October 24 โ€“ November 22)
โ™ Sagittarius (November 23 โ€“ December 21)
โ™‘ Capricornย  (December 22 โ€“ January 20)
โ™’ Aquarius (January 21 โ€“ February 19)
โ™“ Pisces (February 20 โ€“ March 20)

How to Set Your Birthday in Snapchat

If youโ€™d like the birthday features of Snapchat, youโ€™ll first need to enter your birthday in settings so that your friends can see the birthday cake emoji and zodiac symbol for you.

1. Click on the settings icon on your profile screen (on the top right corner, that looks like thisย โš™)

2. Click on โ€œMy Accountโ€ and then on โ€œBirthdayโ€
