Snapchat has always found creative ways to make communication fun, from Bitmojis to Streaks and everything in between. But with the introduction of Snapchat+, things have gone interstellar—literally! One of the most talked-about features is the Snapchat Best Friends Planets. If you've ever wondered where your best friends “orbit” around you, this fun and unique feature maps it out like your own personal solar system.
☀️ What Are Snapchat Best Friends Planets?
The Best Friends Planets feature is part of Snapchat+, the app’s premium subscription service. It transforms your top 8 Snapchat friends into planets in a cosmic-themed friendship solar system—with you as the Sun. The closer a friend is to you (the Sun), the stronger your interaction with them on the platform.
This feature doesn’t just assign ranks—it also shows cute, custom 3D Bitmoji scenes that visualize your interactions, such as laughing together, eating pizza, or floating in space.
? The Planets Their Meanings
Each of the 8 planets represents a position in your Snapchat best friends list. Here's a breakdown:
| Planet | Best Friend Rank | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | #1 Best Friend | You chat and snap the most with each other. |
| Venus | #2 | Almost tied with Mercury; high interaction. |
| Earth | #3 | Still a very active and close connection. |
| Mars | #4 | Frequent interaction, but a little less than the top three. |
| Jupiter | #5 | Solid friend; chats may be slightly less frequent. |
| Saturn | #6 | Occasional snaps and story views. |
| Uranus | #7 | Rare but steady interactions. |
| Neptune | #8 | Least interaction among your top friends. |
The friend planets are arranged based on how much you interact with each person—snaps sent, received, chats, and story interactions all play a role.
? How To View Best Friends Planets
To use this feature, you must be a Snapchat+ subscriber. Here's how to check your planets:
Go to your friend's profile on Snapchat.
Tap on the "Friendship Badge" under their name.
If they’re in your top 8, you’ll see which planet they are and the custom Bitmoji animation that goes with it.
Keep in mind: only you can see your Best Friends Planets—your friends won’t know what planet they are in your system.
