What is a Snapstreak on Snapchat? And What does the number next to Fire Emoji mean?

Some of you might have noticed or wonder that some of your Snapchat's friends have different emojis display next to their names like the fire emoji or icon. Well these emojis replaced the Snapchat's most favorite and controversial feature "Best Friends" which displays the top three friends that you have been on a “Snapstreak” with to the rest of your contacts. These emojis (you may check out What Do Snapchat Emojis and Numbers Mean? ) marked your friends which indicates the level of Snapchat activity between the two of you.

Streaking on Snapchat has nothing to do with  nudity. Instead, it means that two users are engaged in an ongoing "Snapstreak," which is a fancy way of saying you two have consecutively snapchatting each other for some time. The longer the Snapstreak, the the higher the Snapstreak scores. Cool right!

Snapchat Snapstreak is usually counted in days. As long as you and your friend keep sending each other snaps everyday, your streak continues to burn or count on. Now lets look What does this 'hot' emoji even mean? or Snapchat Snapstreak 101 is all about.

What does the 🔥 even mean on Snapchat?

If you noticed this icon it means you are on a Snapstreak. In other words, you and your friend have Snapped each other within 24 hours for more than one consecutive day.

What does the number next to the 🔥 mean on Snapchat?

The number next to the 🔥 tells you how long you've been on a Snapstreak with that particular friend. For example, if you have an '10' next to the 🔥, it means that both of you have Snapped (not Chat) back and forth  for '10' days. If it is 15 days, correspondingly it will 15. Cool right!

Why to keep your Snapstreak going?

To keep the Snapstreak burning, both you and friend must keep on sending a Snap (not Chat) back and forth to each other within 24 hours.

How do you know if your Snapstreak is going to end soon?

If your Snapstreak is going to end soon, hourglass icon ⌛️ will appear next to someone’s name with whom you have been snapstreaking. You can avoid this by regularly sending each other a Snap (not a Chat) to keep your streak alive. See our previous post on What Does Hourglass Emoji Mean on Snapchat? Snapchat Emoji Meanings

What Do Snapchat Emojis and Numbers Mean?

We have talk about the recent updates of Snapchat's Friend Emojis in previous post. So far the recent updates has received a mixed response from Snapchatters.  Some people find themselves amused by it and are enjoying the new ranking system while others find it confusing, embarrassing, annoying or just plain dumb. These new emojis updates are quite confusing and the numbers in emojis, Snapchat is yet to officially publish or explain about these new updates and what they actually mean.

With this new Snapchat update Snapchatters are flooding social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter looking for the best possible explanation of the new updates.

What Do The Numbers In Snapchat Emojis Mean?

In our previous post we have explained What the new Snapchat Friend Emojis mean, if your are not yet sure what these emojis mean please check out our previous post.  So what is this new numbers in emojis mean?

Now instead of logging on and seeing your Best Friends list at the top of the your profile, all you Snapchat buddies are now being ranked with their own special emoji and numbering system.

So, in addition to ranking your friends with an emoji they deem most appropriate, Snapchat has also decided to get a little more up in your business by giving some of your friends numbers.

So, what does this numbers mean? In the new Snapchat Friend Emojis, numbers display indicate how many days in a row you have been Snapchatting with that particular buddy.  Add these factors to the “Needs Love” feature, which highlights those friends you haven’t Snapped with in a while, and this app is turning into a micromanaging second mother.

One good change that has taken place with the emoji update is that your Best Friends list is no longer publicly visible. The emoji and number results you see are now visible for your eyes only and not everyone in your circle of friends.

To learn more about the update in general, please check out the instruction manual for Friend Emojis in the Snap Channel of Snapchat app’s “Discover” section.

Apart from the above mentioned Emojis and numbers, Snapchat has added Friend Emojis which indicates various snapping relationships with friends. These Emojis are Gold Heart, Red Heart, Pink Hearts, Grimace, Smile, Sunglasses, Smirk, Fire, Hourglass, Birthday Cake. The meaning of these emojis can be found in our previous post here : Snapchat Emoji Meanings.
