What is the Snapchat planets order in the best friends list?

Hey, I remember when Snapchat rolled this out—it confused me at first too. The planets are basically a fun visual for ranking your top eight friends in Snapchat+. Think of it as the solar system where you’re the sun, and your friends are planets orbiting around you. The order matches the real solar system, so it goes like this:

Mercury = #1 best friend

Venus = #2

Earth = #3

Mars = #4

Jupiter = #5

Saturn = #6

Uranus = #7

Neptune = #8

So, if you see Mercury next to someone, that’s your absolute top best friend on Snap. Venus would be second, Earth third, and so on until Neptune. Each planet has its own little design (rings, color, etc.) to match the vibe of the real planets.

One important thing: you only see this if you’re a Snapchat+ subscriber. People who don’t have Snapchat+ won’t see planets at all. I tested this by logging into my alt account without Snapchat+, and nothing showed. It’s just one of Snapchat’s perks for paying users.

I thought it was random at first, but it’s actually consistent. Your #1 best friend is Mercury, closest to the sun. Then it follows the actual planetary order outward: Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. So Neptune means they’re still in your top 8, but at the edge. It’s only for Snapchat+ though. Without that subscription, you won’t see any planets. I had to double-check this because my younger cousin showed me on his account—it’s paywalled.

The Snapchat+ planets order: Mercury (#1), Venus (#2), Earth (#3), Mars (#4), Jupiter (#5), Saturn (#6), Uranus (#7), Neptune (#8). You’re always the sun in the center, and your best friends are planets around you. Regular users don’t get this—it’s Snapchat+ exclusive.
