Snapchat is an ultra-popular application that has been on people’s phones for roughly ten years now! On Snapchat, you can see photos, and videos, post stories and send messages to different users.
Whenever you send a snap, your snap score updates. Whenever you message someone frequently, you might see a golden heart emoji next to their name.
The golden heart emoji means you are best friends with that user!
The gold heart emoji can take up to two weeks to appear and can be lost over time.
Your Best Friends on Snapchat will change and update as you continue to use the application.

Can You Become Snapchat Best Friends Through Chat?
Yes, absolutely. Whenever you message someone frequently on Snapchat, you will be rewarded with a Best Friend Emoji.
What are Snapchat Best Friends? You will be rewarded with a Snapchat Best Friends emoji whenever you message someone frequently. There are several different emojis that you could receive.
A yellow heart means that you are each other’s best friend on Snapchat. You send the most messages to each other.
A yellow smiley face means you send someone many snaps, but you are not their main friend on the application.
You can also receive emojis such as a red heart or double pink heart. The red heart emoji means that you have been at the top of their friend’s list for more than two weeks.
The double pink heart means best friends for more than two months straight.
The Best Friend emojis will change frequently and heavily depend on your application usage and if you continue to message that person.
Does Texting Only Through Chat Affect Best Friends?
Yes, you can become best friends only by texting someone in the blue chat, but it will take longer than just sending regular red and purple snaps.
To increase your chances of being best friends, you must send snaps to them frequently. It’s not only about how often you send direct messages to them.
You need to send them a message through snaps, allowing Snapchat’s magical formula to calculate who your best friends are.
Try different methods to get on someone’s best friend list when in doubt. Recall that it will take some time before the list is updated.
Therefore, give it more time if you are not Best Friends with someone!
Snapchat’s formula for calculating Best Friends is still slightly unknown. There are several variables that they consider when finding your Best Friends.
How Long Does it Take to Become Best Friends Through Chat?
The amount of time it takes to become Best Friends with someone will vary. It might take as little as two weeks, or it might take much longer.
It might take much longer to see the Best Friend emoji if you are also frequently chatting with multiple other people.
You should limit your number of contacts if you want to be considered Best Friends with someone.
You can increase your chances of being Best Friends with someone by chatting with them in the blue chat and sending Snaps to each other such as photos and videos.
When you interact with a user in several different methods, it informs Snapchat that you have a stronger relationship with this person and thus should be considered best friends.
How to Know if You Become Best Friends on Snapchat?
You will know that you are Best Friends on Snapchat when you get a yellow emoji next to the person’s name.
There are several other emojis that you can receive depending on how frequently you message the person.
You can also receive a yellow smiley face, red heart, and double pink heart to signal that you are Best Friends with that particular user.
Each emoji that you receive means something slightly different. You should aim for at least a golden heart emoji for users you interact with.
However, recall that things have to go both ways. The other user must be interacting with your account frequently for you to get a golden heart next to their name.
If you want to become a Best Friend on Snapchat, keep sending snaps to that person, and maybe one day, you will be rewarded for your efforts.Â
It’s not the end of the day if you can not receive a Golden Heart. Snapchat is just one application out of the many different social media apps.
You might interact with that person more on another platform. Not receiving a Best Friend emoji does not mean you are not good friends with that person.
Do Chats Increase Snap Score?
No. Unfortunately for many users, you can not increase your Snap score with chats. You can only increase your Snap score by sending Snaps (videos or photos) to someone.
You can increase your likelihood of being a Best Friend with someone by sending them snaps.
Snap Score and Best Friends are not the same things. You can increase your Snapchat score by doing activities on the application.
Best Friend requires you to interact with a particular account frequently.
The Snap Score is a little slow. You might receive points but not see those points reflected on your account immediately.
If you don’t see your Snap Score increase, log off the application and wait.
Refresh the applicant and have another look, but note that it might take several hours or days for the score to increase.
How to Start a Chat on Snapchat
You can start a new conversation with someone you already chatted with or find a new friend to begin talking to.
If the person is an old friend, go to your chat history and click their icon to send them a new message.
Go to the chat screen if you have not already started a chat with this person. Find the chat icon at the bottom of the screen. Search for the friend by name. Finally, hit the chat button.
You can continue an old conversation or start a completely new one. Once you send the person enough messages, you should see them become your Best Friends on the app.
The Best Friends are signaled by an emoji next to the person’s name. You will see several emojis, but the most common is the golden heart emoji.
Recall that you can not just directly message someone to be their Snapchat Best Friend. You must send them snaps.
Over time, as you continue to send them snaps and they send snaps to you, you should see yourself rewarded with a Golden Heart emoji.
What Does BSF Mean on Snapchat?
BSF means Best Friend. Your connection to that user is stronger as you communicate daily and interact with each other’s accounts.
The word sister is added to help users connect and strengthen their relationships with each other.
It’s similar to the saying – brother from another mother. You are close with that user if you receive a BSF rating.
There’s another variation of this saying, and it’s BSFL which means best sister friend for life.
If you receive a BSFL, your relationship is solid and on another level! Keep up the connection between you and that person, and allow time to grow and strengthen.
Conclusion
Snapchat’s formula for calculating the Best Friend list is not known. However, there are some factors that we can be sure of.
If you want to be Best Friends or BSF with someone, you must send them a lot of snaps!
When you become Best Friends with someone, you send them many messages and frequently interact with the application.
It will take a while before you see the emoji next to the person’s name. Allow at least two weeks for your Best Friend’s list to update.
Note that it might take longer if you frequently interact with many different accounts.
You can become Best Friends with someone, but stop being their Best Friend later. The list constantly updates.
If you start interacting with a different account more frequently than that account, then you will see that you lose the best friend’s emoji with that particular account and gain a new Best Friend.
If you lose the golden heart emoji, you might be able to gain another emoji that also shows that you interact with the account a lot.
Once you interact with that account a lot, you might be able to receive a BSF which means Best Sister Friend, which is essentially saying brother from another mother.
You are incredibly close with this person. You can also get a BSFL which is Best Sister Friend for Life.
Keep using Snapchat to see your Best Friend and snap score update.Â
