for reasons of controversy, it is important to understand what they mean before using them.
Whether sending videos to keep in touch with friends or going back and forth another layer of complexity to an application which excels in simple, short interactions.
As Snapchat explains, friend emojis are designed to highlight the relationship between different s, and can actually change at any point. As for the yellow heart, this is reserved for best friends only. If one Snapchatter sends the most messages to another, and also receives the most from the same person, both should receive the gold heart and certain other perks. Where this isn't always the case is when s already have the maximum number of best friends, but because the emojis are frequently updated those two s can keep trying.
You Can Change Friend Icons If You Want
For an app with enough icons to Android s it's much the same. Simply click the gear icon in 'My Profile' to reach settings, scroll down and select 'Customize Emojis' and the rest is up to the imagination.
Although Snapchat focuses on quick interactions, there's a significant amount of lore associated with it. That however might just drive more attraction while s aren't busy turning themselves into potatoes using the AR lens. Overall this is a novel way to celebrate and highlight friendships between s, and the fact that it can change over time provides an additional real-world feel to Snapchat's friend emojis.
