Understanding the Snapchat Planet Order

[terrymcorwin]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been exploring features on Snapchat and came across something called the Snapchat Planet order. I’m a bit confused about how it works and was hoping someone could clarify.

Specifically, I want to know if it affects how friends appear in stories or if it’s tied to some sort of ranking system.

Does anyone have experience with it? How is the Snapchat Planet order determined, and can it be influenced by activity or interactions?

Any detailed explanation or tips would be greatly appreciated.

The Snapchat Planet system is a visual way Snapchat+ uses to rank your friendships.


You appear as the Sun, and your friends are shown as planets around you based on how often you interact with them through snaps, chats, and streaks.


Each planet represents a different level of closeness.
The closer the planet is to the Sun, the stronger the connection with that person.


The typical planet order is:
Mercury (closest friend) → Venus → Earth → Mars → Jupiter → Saturn → Uranus → Neptune (less interaction)
