What are Snapchat Planets?

Snapchat Planets is a Snapchat+ feature that represents your top 8 best friends as planets in a solar system. You are the Sun, and each planet (Mercury through Neptune) represents a friend's position in your best friends list, with Mercury being your #1 closest friend.

What is the Snapchat planets order?

The Snapchat planets order follows our solar system: Mercury (#1 best friend), Venus (#2), Earth (#3), Mars (#4), Jupiter (#5), Saturn (#6), Uranus (#7), and Neptune (#8 best friend). The closer to the Sun, the closer the friendship.

What does Mercury mean on Snapchat?

Mercury on Snapchat means you are someone's #1 best friend. As the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury represents the absolute closest friendship — the person they interact with the most on Snapchat.

How do I see my planet in someone's solar system?

You need a Snapchat+ subscription to see planets. Go to your friend's profile and tap on the 'Best Friends' or 'Friends' badge to see which planet you are in their solar system.

Can my Snapchat planet position change?

Yes, your planet position is dynamic and changes based on your interaction frequency. More snaps and messages can move you closer to Mercury, while less interaction might move you toward Neptune.

What's the difference between Best Friends and Friends badge on Snapchat?

A 'Best Friends' badge means you're both in each other's top 8 friends (mutual). A 'Friends' badge means they're in your top 8, but you might not be in their top 8 yet.
