What Are Snapchat Streaks?
A Snapchat streak occurs when you and a friend have snapped each other within 24 hours for three or more consecutive days. Little flame emojis appear next to friends you have streaks with, showing the number of days your streak has gone on.
After you’ve gone 7 days, the flame emoji turns yellow. At 14 days, it turns red, and at 30 days, it turns gold. Some other milestones are the 100 emoji for 100 days and the hourglass emoji when your streak is about to expire.
Why Change Your Streak Emoji?
The default fire emoji for Snapchat streaks gets old after a while. Changing it up with a new emoji can liven things up and make your streaks more fun.
Some examples of emojis you could use instead of fire are:
- Heart emoji 💕
- Star emoji ⭐
- Flower emoji 🌼
- Dog emoji 🐶
- Pizza emoji 🍕
You can get creative and choose an emoji that fits your friendship or personality!

Why Streaks Matter
Beyond just being a fun way to interact, Snapchat streaks signify important friendships. The longer your streak with someone, the closer your bond likely is.
With school friends, long streaks mean you snap daily even when you’re not seeing each other in person. For long distance friendships, streaks are a great way to keep up consistent communication.
So if you have an especially close friend, consider changing your streak emoji to something unique as a symbol of your special bond!
Other Custom Snapchat Emojis
In addition to streak emojis, you can customize the emojis for:
- Best Friends
- Best Friends for 2+ weeks
- Best Friends for 2+ months
- Friends
To change these, just scroll to tap on the specific relationship emoji you want to customize after tapping “Friend Emojis”.
Conclusion
Customizing your Snapchat streak emojis is an easy way to add a unique touch to your conversations. Switching up the standard fire emoji for something new keeps things fun and interesting.
Whether you pick a silly emoji like pizza or a heart for your BFF, changing your Snapchat emojis is a great way to signify special bonds.
So open up Snapchat, and get customizing those emojis!
