Snapchat+ Charms: What Every Charm Actually Means (2026)

If you've got Snapchat+, you've probably noticed little badges appearing in your friendship and group chat profiles — a zodiac match, a "BFF" tag, a number counting something. Those are Charms, and they're Snapchat's way of putting fun, shareable facts about a friendship right where you can see them. Here's what the Snapchat+ Charms actually mean in 2026.

What Charms are (and where to find them)

Charms are small badges that live in the Friendship Profile (tap a friend's Bitmoji, then their name) and in Group Profiles. They're a Snapchat+ feature, so you need the subscription to unlock the full set — though some basic ones show up for everyone in a chat with a subscriber. Wondering if the whole thing is worth paying for? We covered that in Is Snapchat+ worth it?.

The most common one-on-one Charms

• BFF Charm — you're each other's #1 best friend. It pairs with the 💛 yellow heart from the friend emojis.
• Astrological Compatibility — shows both of your zodiac signs and how "compatible" Snapchat thinks you are. Pure fun, not science.
• Birthday Charm — flags when their birthday is coming up.
• Snap Star / Replays — highlights when one of you replays the other's Snaps a lot.
• Distance Charm — roughly how far apart you two are (only if location is shared).
• Friend-iversary — marks how long you've been Snapchat friends.

Group chat Charms

Group profiles get their own Charms that describe the whole chat:

• Most Snapped — who sends the most in the group.
• Group Astrology — the blended "vibe" of everyone's zodiac signs.
• Member count and group age — how big the chat is and how long it's existed.

Do Charms mean anything serious?

Not really — and that's the point. Charms aren't a status system like Snapchat Planets or the best-friend emojis. They're lightweight, often funny prompts designed to give you something to react to and screenshot. A "low compatibility" astrology Charm with your best friend is a bit, not a verdict.

Charms are conversation starters, not scoreboards. The best ones just give you a reason to Snap someone first.
