Snap Planets started with one question we kept hearing from friends: “Why am I Saturn?” Search results were full of guesses, copy-pasted lists and “planet checker” sites that just wanted your password. So we built the guide we wished existed.
Today we cover Snapchat Planets, Snapchat+, the best friends list, friend emojis and the features around them — written in plain English for people who just want the answer.
How We Write Our Guides
Tested on real accounts
We try every feature ourselves on iPhone and Android before we write about it.
Checked against official sources
We compare our findings with Snapchat Support and Snap's own announcements.
Updated when the app changes
Each guide shows its last update date, and we revisit them after major releases.
When Snapchat hasn't confirmed something — like exactly how the ranking algorithm weighs each action — we say so, instead of presenting guesses as facts.
We're Independent
Snap Planets is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Snap Inc. “Snapchat” and related marks belong to Snap Inc. We never ask for your Snapchat login, and we never will.
