Neptune is the outermost and final planet in Snapchat's Best Friends Solar System, representing someone's eighth and last ranked best friend. Being Neptune means you are at the edge of their top eight — still included in the solar system, but with the lowest interaction frequency among visible friends. Neptune friends display a single blue heart emoji, signaling a connection that exists but is not among the most active daily relationships. This position is often precarious: a small decrease in snaps or chats can push you out of the top eight entirely, removing your planet from their solar system view. To maintain Neptune or climb higher, prioritize daily snap exchanges, respond promptly to messages, and engage with their stories consistently. Many users who find themselves at Neptune use it as motivation to increase their interaction and move inward toward Uranus, Saturn, or beyond. Despite being the last rank, Neptune still confirms you are among their eight closest Snapchat friends.
In the broader context of the Snapchat Planets system, Neptune is one of eight positions in the Best Friends Solar System available to Snapchat Plus subscribers. Your rank as Neptune reflects your current standing based on snap frequency, chat activity, story replies, and Snapchat's recency algorithm. Visit our Snapchat Planets homepage to use the interactive planet finder, or explore the full Snapchat Planets order guide for context on all eight ranks.
How to Reach Neptune Rank
- Send snaps to this friend every single day without skipping
- Maintain an active snap streak and respond within 24 hours
- Reply to their stories with thoughtful messages or reactions
- Initiate chat conversations regularly, not just one-way snaps
- Engage consistently for at least one to two weeks to see rank changes
Keep in mind that planet rankings are relative — your position depends on how your interaction frequency compares to other friends in the solar system. Focus on genuine, consistent engagement rather than trying to game the algorithm with empty snaps.
