Introduction
Snapchat introduced its paid exclusive version for the most dedicated community members to share the limited special features which are in their experimental phase or are pre-released for the premium users.
In June 2022, Snapchat introduced this new version of Snapchat Plus with monthly paid subscription charges and has come up with some exciting features.
One such feature that received the most attention from premium users is the Snapchat Plus Solar System and in this article, we will discuss it in detail.
Snapchat Plus Solar System
Snapchat Solar System has received the most recognition from its users. This premium version is gaining popularity because of its customizable features and one such feature is the “Close Friend List”.
This exclusive feature gives users access to enlist 8 friends to their list whom they make the most interaction with. By doing so, Snapchat Plus Algorithm categorizes them into planet-based bitmoji displays.
For Snapchat Plus users, they can see Friends or Best Friends which appear with a Golden Ring when their Friendship Profile is opened.
Best Friends on Snapchat Plus
Best Friends is a tag in Snapchat Plus that indicates that the users are one of the closest friends of each other on the app based on their interaction via snap count and chats shared.
The “Friends” tag depicts that the user is one of the eight closest friends of the friend whose profile is opened but they are not one of the user’s close friends.
The badge of each close friend appears with a Solar System planet which demonstrates the level of friendship based on the planet.
The planets’ order is the same as the Solar System and the ranks of the planet show the number on which your friendship stands on the list of eight.
How Does Snapchat Plus Solar System Work?
This feature makes the user the center of the friendship, which is the Sun in the Solar System, whereas the eight Close Friends in the list demonstrate the intensity of friendship on Snapchat Plus.
Just like Eight Solar System Planets, eight friends in the close friend list are categorized.
| Planet | Number in Order | Color | Bitmoji |
| Mercury | 1 | Pink with red hearts |  |
| Venus | 2 | Beige with blue, yellow, and pink hearts |  |
| Earth | 3 | Blue and green with red hearts and a moon |  |
| Mars | 4 | Red with blue and purple hearts |  |
| Jupiter | 5 | Orange with stars no hearts |  |
| Saturn | 6 | Yellow with a ring |  |
| Uranus | 7 | Green with stars and no hearts |  |
| Neptune | 8 | Blue with stars and no hearts |  |
Where Mercury represents the closest on-app friendship as the number one planet in the solar system. The list continues with Venus as 2nd close friend, Earth as the third, Mars as the fourth, Jupiter as the fifth, Saturn as the sixth, Uranus as the seventh, and Neptune marks the last of the close friend list.
Note: The friendships on the close friend list depict the actual solar system order but it is worth noticing that both the user and the friend must have a linked Bitmoji. Only then, this feature can be accessed.
