What Is the Snapchat Planet System?
Snapchat Plus introduced a unique "Friend Solar System" feature that ranks your eight closest friends as planets in a solar system where you are the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the higher that friend ranks in your interactions.
Each planet in the solar system is assigned to a specific friend based on the number of Snaps and messages you exchange. Mercury (the closest planet) represents your number-one best friend, while Neptune (the farthest) represents your eighth closest friend.
To see which planet you are in a friend's solar system, open their Friendship Profile and tap the "Best Friends" or "Friends" badge. A gold ring means you are both in each other's top eight; a silver ring means you are in their top eight but they are not in yours.
The planets are assigned beautiful, colorful icons to make the experience fun. The feature is exclusive to Snapchat+ subscribers and refreshes based on your recent interaction history.
