Snapchat
Wondered “what do the emojis mean on Snapchat?” Emojis appear next to Snapchat contact names and have the following meanings:
🌟 Gold Star — Someone has replayed this person's snaps in the past 24 hours. They must have something interesting to show.
💛 Yellow Heart — You are #1 best friends (#1 BFs) with each other. You send the most snaps to this person, and they send the most snaps to you.
❤️ Red Heart — You have been #1 BFs with each other for two weeks straight.
💕 Pink Hearts — You have been #1 BFs with each other for two months straight. Dedication!
👶 Baby — You just became friends with this person.
😎 Face With Sunglasses — One of your best friends is one of their best friends. This means that you send a lot of snaps to someone that they also send a lot of snaps to.
😬 Grimacing Face — Your #1 best friend is their #1 best friend. You send the most snaps to the same person that they do. Awkward.
😏 Smirking Face — You are one of their best friends…but they are not a best friend of yours. You don’t send them many snaps, but they send you a lot of snaps.
😊 Smiling Face — Another best friend of yours. You send this person a lot of snaps. Not your #1 best friend, but they are up there.
🔥 Fire — You are on a Snapstreak! You have snapped this person every day, and they have snapped you back. Increases with number of consecutive days.
💯 Hundred — 100 Day Snapstreak. The 100 emoji appears next to the fire when you snap back and forth with someone for one hundred days in a row.
⌛ Hourglass — Your Snapstreak is about to end. Quickly send another snap to keep it alive.
🎂 Birthday Cake — This friend has a birthday today. Only displays if friend has the Birthday Party feature enabled in settings.

Chat Status
A smiling face emoji or Bitmoji appears as a status in chat to indicate the recipient has returned to view the chat. This changes to a blue unread-style dot when the recipient remains currently active.
Verification
Emojis previously showed next to Snapchat stories, as a way to verify accounts. This has been replaced by a star.
