Does 😊 Emoji Mean That You Both Are on Each Other’s Best Friend Lists on Snapchat?
If you see the smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes emoji for the first time on Snapchat next to one or more of your friends, you might get confused about what this emoji means.
Well, the 😊 emoji is among the first emojis that appear next to some of your friends on Snapchat. It appears on the Chats screen next to one of your friends and also on your Friend List.
If the 😊 emoji appears next to a friend, it does NOT mean you both are each other’s best friends on Snapchat.
Instead, it just means that they are your best friends. This means you send a lot of snaps to this friend. Now, a lot of snaps might not mean the most snaps. Rather, it only means that you send more snaps to this person than you do to most other friends.
However, the appearance of this emoji doesn’t necessarily mean that you are also one of their best friends. They might send more snaps to other friends (their friends) than they send to you, and this emoji might not appear beside your name on their account.
The 😊 emoji is just one of the many friend emojis you might find next to your friends’ names on the chat screen or your friend list. Keep reading to know more about these emojis.
Snapchat Friend Emojis 101: All you need to know
Snapchat has a wide collection of emojis, each appearing for a different reason. These emojis are called friend emojis or friendship emojis because the various things the emojis stand for concern your friends.
These emojis can not only tell you about your best friends and denote other fun things like besties, mutual besties, and BFFs. You don’t need to be confused or overwhelmed; we will tell you all about this in the next few lines. Here’s a list of all the emojis you might see on Snapchat:
Best Friends: 😊
We just talked about this one, didn’t we? When you see this emoji next to a friend’s name on the Chats page, it means you send a lot of snaps (not messages) to this person, due to which Snapchat thinks that they are your best friend.
Besties: 💛
There’s great news if you see this emoticon next to a friend on Snapchat! You both are the #1 best friends of each other. Yes, #1 best friends! This means you send the most number of snaps to this friend, and they send the most number of snaps to you.
In other words, you are snapping with each other more than you do with any other friend. You two get along really well! If you find this emoji next to a friend’s name, they can also see it next to your name.
BFF: ❤️
This is a milestone emoji for best friends. If the Besties emoji appears continuously for two weeks straight, it changes into a red heart emoji. In other words, if you both have been each other’s #1 best friends for 14 days at a stretch, you both will see this emoji next to each other’s names.
Super BFFs: 💕
This is another milestone, but way more serious and VERY rare. You might not see this emoji so easily next to any friend’s name. But if you do, know that you both are a strong match, as you have been each other’s top best friends for two months!
If the BFF emoji appears for two months, it changes into this emoji on both of your accounts.
Mutual BFs: 😎
The smiling-face-with-sunglasses emoji indicates that you and your friend have a common best friend.
In other words, if you see this emoji next to a friend, it means you and this friend send a lot of snaps to a third person who is a mutual friend.
Mutual Besties: 😬
This emoji tells you a bit about your friend’s #1 best friend. Seeing this emoji beside a friend’s name tells you that your #1 best friend is their #1 best friend as well.
Confused? Don’t be. It only means that you and this friend (with the emoji) send the most snaps to the mutual friend. For example, suppose your #1 best friend is Enid, and you see this emoji next to a friend named Alex. Then, it means Enid is also Alex’s #1 best friend.
Snapstreak: 🔥
When you send and receive snaps to and from your friend daily, you two get on a snapstreak. When this happens, you see a number beside your friend’s name. This number denotes the number of days you two have been on a streak. And this emoji appears next to this number.
Snapstreak about to end: ⌛️
If you care about your snapstreak, you must pay attention to this emoticon. Your streak breaks when either of you doesn’t send a for 24 hours. This emoji appears when your streak is about to break. To avoid losing your streak, both of you must send snaps to each other within 24 hours.
Friend’s Birthday: 🎂
The cake emoji is pretty self-explanatory. It appears next to a friend when it’s your friend’s birthday. So, whenever you see this little cake next to a friend’s name, remember to wish them a happy birthday!
These are all the emojis that might appear beside your friends’ names on Snapchat.
