Before, nobody had thought to rank how much of a friend you were to someone with emojis before, but perhaps we had been wrong all these years and the new Snapchat update friends emoji's the right way to go in these odd, overexposed times.
Last year, Snapchat made headlines after many users' private photos were leaked online, even though the social network's supposed to be as private as can be; however, it later came out that it had all been because users were entering the platform through banned outside apps - now, it's the Snapchat update friends emoji making news.
According to the UK's The Mirror, the new Snapchat update friends emoji was launched recently, during the Easter weekend, and it features a new way to see how much picture love you give your contacts in the social media site: depending on how much you share with each other, the "happier" the emojis will be between you.
Time Magazine wrote a detailed article about the new Snapchat update friends emoji, explaining the new ranking and saying that now there'll be a series of Friend Emojis from each incoming snaps, telling the user which one of the users is closest to them by seeing how many snaps they've shared between them.
Because, as we all know, the more pictures and videos you share with someone, the bigger the love between you.
The new Snapchat update friends emoji feature is set to replace the public "Best Friends" list, which was eliminated last year following users' concerns over their privacy.
According to The Huffington Post, the Discover section of the app shows the key to how to read the new way of doing things; to make it short, the Gold Heart signifies that this person and you are "#1 Best Friends," which means you both share as many snaps to each other - while the rest of the categories look a little like what "Mean Girls" character Regina George would look for in a social network.
Good luck with the new Snapchat update friends emoji!
