The Snap Solar System is a Snapchat+ feature that shows your closest friends as planets in a solar system around you, ranking them based on how much you interact with them. You are the Sun and your friends are planets closer or farther away depending on interaction frequency
It’s basically a visual way to show who you chat and send snaps with the most. Mercury is the closest friend, then Venus, Earth, etc., up to Neptune for the least frequent. You need Snapchat+ and you must toggle it on in settings.
So it’s not showing actual planets but your closest friends, right? I heard you can tap the Best Friends badge on someone’s profile to see the Solar System positions.
Exactly! You have to turn on the Solar System feature in Snapchat+ settings. Once it’s enabled, whenever you open a friend’s profile with the Best Friend badge, you’ll see you and your friends as planets.
Keep in mind it’s private—your friends can only see their own Solar System. It doesn’t show a public leaderboard; it’s just for your own view of friendships.
Does it take into account chats and snaps? I think it looks at interactions like sending snaps, chats, and story replies to decide where people land in your Solar System.
Yep! The closer you interact—snaps, chats, streaks—the nearer that friend will be (like Mercury or Venus). Less interaction places them farther (like Neptune).
I tried switching it off once, and it just hides the planetary view for me—it doesn’t affect my friends’ Solar System views unless they turn it off too.
The Snap Solar System is a Snapchat+ feature that shows your closest friends as planets orbiting around you—the Sun . Friends you interact with most (snaps, chats, and streaks) appear as closer planets like Mercury ☿ or Venus ♀, while less active friends appear farther away, like Neptune ♆.
