What does the red heart emoji next to a friend’s name on Snapchat actually mean, and how does it appear?

Hi,
On Snapchat, that red heart ❤️ you sometimes see next to a friend’s name actually has a meaning. It’s not just a random emoji the app throws in. It appears when you and another person have been each other’s number one best friend for two weeks in a row.
In simple terms, you’ve been sending the most snaps to them, and they’ve been sending the most snaps to you, and you kept it up long enough that Snapchat rewards you with the red heart.
It usually doesn’t start red right away. First, when you become best friends, you’ll see a yellow heart. If you keep that streak going for 14 days, the yellow turns into red. And if you both keep snapping each other consistently for two months, it can even turn into two pink hearts.
One thing to know though—the heart can disappear. If either of you start snapping someone else more often, Snapchat will adjust the emoji, and the red heart might be gone the next day. That’s why people often get a little proud when they manage to hold onto it, because it shows steady interaction.

The red heart on Snapchat basically means you and that person have been each other’s number one best friend for two weeks straight. In simple words, you send them the most snaps, and they also send you the most snaps back. First, it starts with a yellow heart when you become #1 best friends. If you both keep that streak going for 14 days, it turns into a red heart. If you continue for even longer, it can later change into two pink hearts. A lot of people think the red heart always means romance, but that’s not really true—it just shows you both are most active with each other on Snapchat. Of course, if it’s someone close to you, it can feel special too.
