The heart emoji on Snapchat is a quick way to show who your “best friend” is. When you see a red heart next to someone’s name, it means you and that person have been each other’s number-one friend for at least two weeks straight. A pink heart means you’ve kept that top spot for two months or more.
In everyday life, teens and adults use these hearts like a scoreboard. If you open Snapchat and see a red heart next to your crush’s name, you’ll probably smile because it means you’re snapping each other more than anyone else. Friends also tease each other—“We lost the pink heart!”—if one of them starts snapping someone else more often. It’s a light, playful way to show who’s closest right now.
Meaning & Usage Examples
- Red heart: “We’ve been best friends for two weeks.” Example: You send 30 snaps a day to your roommate; the red heart pops up.
- Pink heart: “Still best friends for two months.” Example: You and your cousin share daily dog photos; the pink heart sticks around.
Context / Common Use
Hearts only appear between two people who are mutually the top contact. If either person starts snapping someone else more, the heart disappears. That keeps the game fun and ever-changing.
Why did my heart disappear?
You or the other person started snapping someone else more, so you’re no longer each other’s top friend.
Can I get the heart back?
Yes—just start snapping that person more than anyone else again. The red heart will return after about two weeks.
