What Does a Heart in Snapchat Mean?

I want to understand what does a heart in Snapchat mean and what it says about friendships on the app. Does the heart emoji indicate best friends, streaks, or something else? If anyone knows how these hearts work, please explain.

The heart emojis on Snapchat mainly show your Best Friends status, not streaks. A yellow heart means you’re each other’s #1 best friend, red heart means you’ve stayed #1 for two weeks, and pink hearts mean two months. Streaks are shown separately with the fire emoji.

If you’re asking What Does a Heart in Snapchat Mean?, the answer is algorithm-based interaction. Snapchat tracks who you snap most frequently (snaps sent, not chats). Hearts appear when both users consistently rank each other as top contacts over time. It’s a mutual metric, not something you can manually set.

Basically, Snapchat is that friend who publicly ships you with someone. You send a lot of snaps, boom—heart emoji. Stop snapping for a day? Snapchat takes the heart away like it never happened. Emotional damage, but make it social media.

Oh, What Does a Heart in Snapchat Mean? It means Snapchat has decided you are emotionally invested whether you like it or not. Miss one day of snapping and the app goes, “Actually, never mind,” and hands the heart to someone else.

One important thing people miss: hearts don’t mean exclusivity or real-life closeness. You can be someone’s best friend without a heart if they snap others more. Also, chats don’t count much—actual snaps do. Learned that the hard way.

From my experience, What Does a Heart in Snapchat Mean? Just that you’re snapping each other a lot right now. I’ve had hearts appear and disappear within weeks depending on usage. It’s more about current activity than long-term friendship.
