Remember when Snapchat let you see your friends’ best friends? Remember how many relationships were ruined and crushes were exposed? Well, Snapchat has officially turned over a new leaf: it now shows special emojis when you’ve been best friends with someone for a while. The app is essentially supporting long term, monogamous snapping relationships.
By now we all know the emoji categories – the happy smiley, the grimacing smiley…But if you need a refresher, see our article here.
As always, when you are your #1 best friend’s best friend, you get a gold heart next to his or her name.
But now, if you’ve been best friends for two weeks, you get a red heart.
And then, when you’ve been best friends for two months, you get the two small pink hearts. It’s lovely.
Bonus info: if you reach a 100 day snap streak, the fire emoji becomes the 100 emoji. Keep snapping and stay loyal!
