Wait...What Does a Red Heart Mean on Snapchat?
You’ve been Snapchatting someone back and forth for weeks and all of a sudden… a little red heart emoji pops ups next to their name. You start to wonder, did I put this heart there? Did they put the emoji there and not realize I can see it? Did our friendship (or situationship) just reach some new unspoken level? Snapchat is full of fun features that help you interact and connect with friends, whether you share silly pictures, upload stories, or send chats back and forth. Emojis are one of these characteristics and are packed with ~meaning~.
Whether you see a 🔥 or 💛, each friend emoji signifies a certain level of interaction. So if you’ve only Snapchatted someone once or twice, you won’t find an emoji next to their name. But if you talk and interact with a certain user multiple times or have a days-long streak, you’ll probably find a cute emoticon with their contact. Now, about that ‘lil red heart emoji…
What does the red heart mean on Snapchat?
You’re besties! The red heart emoji (❤️) appears when you have been each other’s #1 best friend for two weeks straight (i.e. you send the most amount of Snapchats to each other). Before you and your friend reach red heart status, you’ll see a yellow heart emoji (💛) next to their name. This means that you have officially become each other’s #1 best friend, and it turns from yellow to red once you’ve remained #1 besties for two weeks.
