      Why do I only have 7 best friends on Snapchat? โ€บ

      Understand Snapchat's algorithm.

      Smiling face ๐Ÿ˜Š: The smiley emoji beside a user's name means they're on your Best Friend list. Face with sunglasses ๐Ÿ˜Ž: You'll see the sunglasses emoji when a user shares a mutual Best Friend with you. Grimacing face ๐Ÿ˜ฌ: This face means you and another user share the same #1 Best Friend.

      What does ๐Ÿ˜Ž mean on Snapchat? โ€บ

      ๐Ÿ˜Ž Face With Sunglasses โ€” One of your best friends is one of their best friends.

You send the most snaps to the same person that they do. Awkward.

      What is the fastest way to remove friends on Snapchat? โ€บ
