What's the Fire Emoji Next to Friend's Names on Snapchat?

I recently started using Snapchat again to catch up with some old friends. It’s a lot different from how I remember it! There are all these new emojis and features, and I’m a little lost.

One thing I keep seeing is a little fire emoji :fire: next to some of my friends’ names in the chat. Sometimes it even has a number next to it! I’m too embarrassed to ask my friends directly, so I figured I’d check here first.

Anyone mind explaining what this fire emoji means? Is it some kind of Snapchat challenge or something?

The fire emoji :fire: on Snapchat indicates that you are on a Snapstreak with that person. This means that you and your friend have sent each other snaps (photos or videos) every day for a consecutive number of days.

The number next to the fire emoji shows how many days your Snapstreak has been going.
