Understanding the X on Snapchat
When using Snapchat, you may have noticed a mysterious ‘X’ appearing next to a friend’s name. What does this symbol mean? Let’s delve into the meaning behind the X on Snapchat.
1. Snapstreaks
One possible reason for the X is that you and your friend have lost your Snapstreak. Snapstreaks are a fun way to keep in touch with friends by sending each other snaps every day. If you miss a day, the streak ends, and an X appears next to your friend’s name.
2. Deleted Friend
Another reason for the X could be that you or your friend have deleted each other on Snapchat. When someone removes you as a friend, the X will show up next to their name on your friends list.
3. Not Best Friends
If you see the X but you are still friends on Snapchat, it could mean that you are no longer each other’s best friends. The yellow heart or red heart emojis will disappear, replaced by the X.
4. Unopened Snaps
In some cases, the X could indicate that you have sent a snap to someone, but they have not opened it yet. Once they open the snap, the X will disappear.
5. Glitch or Bug
Lastly, the X could simply be a glitch or bug on the app. If you are experiencing technical issues, restarting the app or your device may resolve the problem.
