Understanding the Snapchat Friend Solar System

Hey guys! In today’s article, I’ll walk you through the Snapchat Friend Solar System and show you how to get it for free.

1. What is the Snapchat Friend Solar System?

The Snapchat Solar System lets you see who your closest friends are on Snapchat by assigning different planets to your friends based on how much you interact with each other.

How to check your Snapchat Solar System?

It's pretty quick and easy, so let's jump right in!

First, open the Snapchat app and tap on your profile at the top left corner. To see all of your Solar System friends (or view them for others), tap on where it says Custom Bitmoji or Snapchat Plus. Scroll down, and you'll find the Solar System feature. Tap on it, and it will say something like "See if you are in a best friend's orbit."

You might be wondering, What is that orbit? What's the order of those planets? Well, Snapchat's support page explains it pretty clearly. If you subscribe to Snapchat Plus (which costs $1.99 per month), you'll see a Best Friend’s badge with a gold ring around it on someone's profile. This badge indicates that you're one of the top eight people that they interact with the most—either by snapping or chatting.

The Solar System works as follows:
The planets are ordered based on closeness to the Sun:

1. Mercury

2. Venus

3. Earth

4. Mars

5. Jupiter

6. Saturn

7. Uranus

8. Neptune

So, if you're Mercury, it means you're the person they interact with the most. Neptune, on the other hand, means you're still in their top eight but lower on the list.

Keep in mind that you must subscribe to Snapchat Plus to access this feature. Once subscribed, you can hop into messages to see exactly where you fall in someone else’s Solar System while chatting with them.

3. Getting Snapchat Plus for Free

To access the Friend Solar System, you need Snapchat Plus, which is a paid subscription. However, Snapchat offers a 7-day free trial you can take advantage of. Here’s how to activate it:

• Update Snapchat: Make sure you have the latest version of Snapchat installed.

• Open Snapchat and Go to Profile: Tap on your profile icon.

• Access Snapchat Plus: Click on the gear icon, then select Snapchat Plus.

• Select a Subscription Plan: Choose any plan and tap on Start One-Week Free Trial.

• Add Payment Method: You’ll need to add a payment method, but don’t worry—you won’t be charged if you cancel the subscription before the end of the trial period.

4. How to See Your Friend Solar System

After activating the trial, you can view the Solar System status for your close friends.

• Go to the profile of one of your frequently interacted friends.

• Look for a Best Friend or Friend badge.

• Tap on the golden circle around the badge to see which planet you are in your friend’s Solar System. You could be Mars, Earth, Venus, Jupiter, etc.

5. How to Get The Friend Solar System Feature?

1. Opening Snapchat Plus

• First, open the Snapchat app.

• Tap your profile icon at the top left.

• Then, tap the gear icon at the top right to access settings.

• Look for Snapchat Plus just below your email and tap on it.

2. Starting the Free Trial for Snapchat Plus

• At the bottom, you’ll see an option to start a 7-day free trial for Snapchat Plus. You can also choose a subscription plan: one month, six months, or 12 months (about $40 for a year).

• At the top, tap Learn More to see the features, including the Friend Solar System.

3. Understanding the Friend Solar System

• The Friend Solar System shows how close you are to being someone’s best friend on Snapchat.

• If your friend is the Sun and you’re Earth in their Solar System, you’re their third closest friend.

• Each planet represents a rank in closeness.

4. Friend Solar System Planet Guide

• The planets represent different friendship levels:

  • Mercury: #1 Best Friend

  • Venus: #2 Closest Friend

  • Earth: #3 Closest Friend

  • Mars: #4 Closest Friend

  • Jupiter: #5 Closest Friend

  • Saturn: #6 Closest Friend

  • Uranus: #7 Closest Friend

  • Neptune: #8 Closest Friend

So, if you’re Neptune, you’re their 8th closest friend—meaning you might have to interact more to climb up the ranks!
