This week, Snapchat rolls out Chat 2.0.
The new chat features have seen the social media sharing site up its game in a big way, completely changing the way we communicate on the app.
While people have found it pretty intuitive and easy to get the hang of, the question on everyone's lips was... what the frig does the hourglass emoji mean?
We got to thinking that we're not entirely clear on the exact meanings of those little emojis alongside our friends list.
Thankfully the
Snapchat team have broken it down for us.
Here's the list;
- 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 numbers 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!
- Star: One of your friend's Snaps was replayed by you or another Snapchatter within the last 24 hours!
- 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!
Ps. don't panic if you don't have the update just yet, it's still being rolled out.
