Snapchat’s Friend Solar System feature determines your best friend on the app by the planets’ proximity to the sun. This is an excellent way to assess the strength of your connection but might be misleading in certain cases. For this reason, Snapchat has chosen to disable this by default. If you and your friends still use the Friend Solar System functionality and wish to activate it again, here is how you can do it on Snapchat.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept, the Friend Solar System requires Snapchat+ access and determines who is your best friend based on the planet’s proximity to the sun. We will also go over the functions of each planet to give further information. Now, let’s explore how to activate this feature.
