Snapchat: Why Am I Seeing a Gold Heart?

Regardless of how long you have been using Snapchat, there are still many interesting things for you to discover and learn.

For example, do you know what each emoji actually means when they appear next to your Snapchat friend’s name? Specifically, do you know what a golden heart means?

Those emojis aren’t there by accident and they’re set by Snapchat rather than by the user. This article will give you a brief lesson in the emojis you may encounter, with a special focus on the hearts.

The Meaning behind Snapchat Emojis

Snapchat uses emojis to show a few different things. You can learn interesting things about your friends, and you can also track the progression of your friendship.

Meaning Behind the Gold Heart

Gold Heart

If you have noticed a gold (yellow) heart next to one of your Snapchat friends, it means that the two of you are each other’s best friends on Snapchat. The app figures this out by keeping track of the number of snaps that you send to each other. This is compared with the number of snaps you both sent to other users.

The gold heart basically means that you are sending the most snaps to that specific Snapchat friend and that the friend is sending the most snaps to you.

Meaning Behind the Red Heart

The red heart emoji is a step up from the gold heart. This emoji means that you have been best friends on the app with a friend for two weeks straight.

Meaning Behind the Pink Hearts

If you have noticed the pink hearts emoji next to your Snapchat friend’s name, all that we have to say is – congratulations!

That emoji means that you and your Snapchat friend have been best friends for two months straight. The pink hearts are here to stay unless one of you sends more snaps to another user than to your best friend.

Meaning Behind the Gold Star

Gold Star

This emoji has nothing to do with your friendship status with. If you notice next to a username the gold star emoji, it means that someone has replayed that person’s snap in the past 24 hours.

Snapchat uses this emoji to tell its users if someone has something interesting to show.

Meaning Behind the Face with Sunglasses

Face with Sunglasses

The face with sunglasses emoji means that this person is good friends with one of your good Snapchat friends. In other words, this means that both you and that person are sending a lot of snaps to your mutual Snapchat friend.

Meaning Behind the Fire

Fire

If you have been snapping with your Snapchat friend every day and they have been snapping you back, you will see the fire emoji next to their name. This means that you are on a Snapstreak with that friend.

Meaning Behind the One Hundred

One Hundred

The one hundred emoji is a step up from the fire emoji, as you’ll see it next to your friend’s name once you have snapped back and forth with them for 100 days in a row.

Meaning Behind the Hourglass

Hourglass

If you haven’t snapped in a while with a friend with a fire emoji next to their name, you will notice an hourglass.

This emoji notifies you that your Snapstreak is about to end. In order to keep the streak alive, you should send a snap to your friend right away. They need to send one back too.

Meaning Behind the Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake

This emoji is easy to decipher. The person that has a birthday cake emoji next to their name is having a birthday that day.

But you need to know is that this emoji can be disabled by modifying the Birthday Party feature in Settings. If you don’t want your Snapchat contacts to know it’s your birthday, the app has got you covered.

Meaning Behind the Baby

Baby

When you become friends with someone on Snapchat, you will notice the baby emoji next to their name. After a while, this emoji will disappear, as it only notifies you about your most recent Snapchat friendships.

The Zodiac Emojis

These emojis show your friend’s zodiac sign calculated by the birthday date that they have entered.
