I see hearts, smileys, and fire emojis beside friends on Snapchat. What do these Friend Emojis represent? Do they show streaks or closeness, and can I customize them?

Yeah, those little emojis next to names on Snapchat are called Friend Emojis, and they’re basically Snapchat’s way of showing your relationship or interaction level with someone.
For example, the yellow heart means you’re #1 best friends with each other — you send them the most snaps, and they send you the most too.
The red heart means you’ve been #1 best friends for two weeks straight, and the pink hearts show you’ve kept that up for two months.
The smiley face just means they’re one of your best friends (you send snaps a lot back and forth), while the grimacing face is when you both have the same #1 best friend. The fire/flame emoji is your streak — how many days in a row you’ve been snapping each other.
And yes, you can actually customize them! Just go to Settings > Customize Emojis inside Snapchat. That way, you can change what symbols show up for best friends, streaks, etc.

Snapchat assigns those Friend Emojis automatically based on how often you interact with someone. They’re like little status markers of your snap habits.
For example:😊 Smiley Face = they’re one of your best friends (you snap them a lot, but they’re not necessarily your #1).
😍 Heart Eyes = they’re one of your favorites, and you interact with them heavily.
💛 Yellow Heart = your #1 best friend (you snap each other the most).
❤️ Red Heart = you’ve kept that #1 best friend status for two weeks.
💕 Pink Hearts = you’ve managed two months of #1 best friendship.
🔥 Fire = Snapstreak, meaning you and your friend have been snapping each other daily. The number next to it shows how many days in a row.
If you’re not into the default icons, Snapchat lets you customize them. Just open Snapchat, tap your Bitmoji/ghost in the corner → Settings → scroll to Customize Emojis. There you can swap the default ones for whichever emoji you like.
