Snapchat friends list planets

The Snapchat friends list planets refer to the zodiac signs that are displayed next to friends’ names on your Snapchat friends list. These planets represent each friend’s zodiac sign based on their birthday.

How to View Planets on Snapchat Friends List

Viewing the planets on your Snapchat friends list is easy:

  1. Open the Snapchat app.
  2. Tap on the Friends tab at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll through your friends list. You will see a small planet icon next to each friend’s name.
  4. Tap on the planet icon to view your friend’s zodiac sign.

The planet icon will be one of 12 zodiac signs depending on your friend’s birthday. For example, if your friend’s birthday is between March 21 – April 19, their zodiac sign is Aries and they will have a Mars planet icon.

Meaning of Each Planet Icon

Here is what each planet icon represents:

  • Mars Icon – Aries zodiac sign (March 21 – April 19)
  • Venus Icon – Taurus zodiac sign (April 20 – May 20)
  • Mercury Icon – Gemini zodiac sign (May 21 – June 20)
  • Cancer Icon – Cancer zodiac sign (June 21 – July 22)
  • Leo Icon – Leo zodiac sign (July 23 – August 22)
  • Virgo Icon – Virgo zodiac sign (August 23 – September 22)
  • Libra Icon – Libra zodiac sign (September 23 – October 22)
  • Scorpio Icon – Scorpio zodiac sign (October 23 – November 21)
  • Sagittarius Icon – Sagittarius zodiac sign (November 22 – December 21)
  • Capricorn Icon – Capricorn zodiac sign (December 22 – January 19)
  • Aquarius Icon – Aquarius zodiac sign (January 20 – February 18)
  • Pisces Icon – Pisces zodiac sign (February 19 – March 20)

How Friends List Planets Are Determined

Snapchat determines your friends’ zodiac signs and assigns the corresponding planet icon based on their birthday listed in their Snapchat profile. Here’s how it works:

  1. When a user adds their birthday to their Snapchat profile, Snapchat records and saves this date.
  2. Snapchat checks the birthday against an astrological calendar to identify the matching zodiac sign.
  3. Snapchat assigns one of the 12 planet icons to represent that zodiac sign.
  4. The planet icon appears next to the user’s name on their friends’ Snapchat friends lists.

So if your friend’s birthday falls between the dates for a certain zodiac sign, Snapchat will display the corresponding planet icon. This allows friends to quickly see each other’s astrological signs right from the friends list.

Changing or Removing Planets

If you don’t want your zodiac sign displayed on your friends’ friends lists, you can remove or change your birthday in your Snapchat profile settings:

  1. Open your Snapchat profile by tapping the profile icon in the top left corner.
  2. Tap the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right corner.
  3. Tap ‘My Profile’ at the top of the screen.
  4. Tap ‘Birthday’ and edit or delete your birthday.

Once you remove your birthday, the planet icon will disappear from your friends’ friends lists. You can also enter a fake birthday to change your zodiac sign planet.
