If you are new to Snapchat and are wondering what are streak emojis, then we have the perfect guide for you. This guide will not only help you understand your streak emojis but also show you how you can change them to an emoji of your choice. Let’s get started.

What are Snapchat streak emojis?

Snapchat streaks are a way to track how much you chat over Snapchat with a particular contact in your contact list. Each emoji represents how long you have been chatting with someone over Snapchat. For example, if you have a yellow heart with someone then it means that you are each other’s best friends.

They send the most snaps to you over Snapchat and you send the most snaps to them. A red heart means that you have been best friends for over two weeks and things might be starting to get serious and so on. These emojis not only help you track your friendship but also get interesting stats about each other.

How to maintain Snapchat streaks with your Snapchat contacts?

If you want to maintain Snapchat streaks with your contacts, then you need to make sure that you regularly keep sending snaps back and forth.

To make sure that this does not happen, keep an eye out for the ‘Hourglass’ emoji. This emoji will help you identify if your snapstreak with someone is about to end. For a clear guide on what each emoji means, simply refer to the emoji list above.
