Of course, Snapchat provides new fantastic profiles which do provide us with Snapchat charms. These are like trophies on your friendship, so it’s a great way to celebrate your friendship. The purpose of this post is to give you a good understanding of what the Snapchat charms are and how to earn them. Also, all the Snapchat Charms list and how to remove them just in case you find some insensitive.

Trophies were one of the features that were there from the very beginning. When they removed best friends from an application that had a bit of a storm on the community. And now they’ve taken out Snapchat trophies. This may even go good or bad for the Snapchat application. Fingers crossed for the company that this is a good move and they bring out some more exciting features.

All The Snapchat Charms and What They Mean

Users can earn Charms now which might give a bit of a reason to celebrate. If you have no clue about these charms, they’re on the new profile screens for your friends. All you’ve got to do is tap their Bitmoji, scroll to the bottom and you’ll be presented with some charms. Now let us see some of these Charms and how you can earn them.

Snapchat Charms List and Their Meanings

Snapchat Friendship Charms

Mutual BFs

The first one we’re going to talk about is the mutual BFs. It’s a pair of sunglasses.

If you have this Charm, this means you and that friend share a best friend from the Best Friends section. The Best Friend section looks like the below screenshot and it’s eight squares of the most popular people that use a snap on the Snapchat app.

Mutual Besties

The next charm that you can unlock is called a Mutual Besties. This one is what we call the awkward Charm and that is when you share a best friend with that person. So your best friend is also their best friend. And that’s why there’s a bit awkward, but there is another charm that you can unlock too.

 

Mutual Besties

Now the reason why we say Mutual is the awkwardness Charm because you and they are fighting for your best friends number one position. Best friends change on a frequent basis, you may find one week, the charm is there on someone’s profile but come next week, they’re no longer our best friend, it may vanish.

BFF Charm

The final best friend charms that you can unlock is the BFF. This comes in three variants because it depends on the duration of time they’ve been your BFF. The first tier of the best friends charms that you can unlock is when you and your best friend or best friends with each other. So you’re both number one on each other’s Snapchats.

Now if you keep that for two weeks, you get the Tier Two.

BFF tier two

And if you keep that for two months, you get the Tier Three. So there are some different barriers to show how good your best friend actually is.
