If you haven't updated Snapchat yet, I have breaking news: there are now strange, confusing emoji's by your snap contacts.
WHAAA? My reaction exactly. In January, the app's update took away the 'best friend' feature. This was a devastating blow to many users, as seeing whom other people were best friends with, was VERY entertaining. Many users took to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets to voice their frustration. We're guessing that Snapchat took note of this, because their update a few weeks introduced a new concept ~eMoJiS~!!!
What do these emoji's do, exactly? We don't know. Ok, just kidding - we've finally figured it out. There will either be one of 6 emojis showing next to your snapchat contacts - a yellow heart, a grimacing face, a smiling face, a face with sunglasses, a smirking face, or fire. Here are the more in depth explanations-
💛 Yellow Heart — You're #1 best friends with each other.
You send the most snaps to this person, and they send the most snaps to you.
😬 Grimacing Face — Your #1 best friend is their #1 best friend.
You send the most snaps to the same person that they do...awk
😊 Smiling Face — Another best friend of yours. You send this person a lot of snaps. They aren't your #1 best friend, but they're up there.
😎 Face With Sunglasses — One of your best friends is one of their best friends. You send a lot of snaps to someone they also send a lot of snaps to.
😏 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.
🔥 Fire — You are on a Snapstreak! You've snapped this person every day, and they have snapped you back. Increases with number of consecutive days.
There you have it friends, Snapchat emojis, explained. Not sure if we love or hate it yet, still deciding.
It's an 'okay' update, but Snapchat-we just want our best friends back. That's all, thanks.
