Snapchat is the pioneer of photos that disappear after 24 hours.
This feature quickly became popular among teenagers, and before we knew it, users were sending each other snaps of their morning coffees, walks in the park, or social activities with friends.
The feature became so popular that other social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and even Pinterest adopted it as well.
Apart from this, Snapchat has another interesting feature-emojis.
Emojis are an integral part of every social media platform, however in Snapchat, when placed beside a friend's name, they have special meanings.

How do you get the Snapchat yellow heart emoji?
In order to get the yellow heart with someone, you just need to send each other more snaps than you do with others.
It would be a bit difficult to receive the yellow heart if you or your friend on Snapchat constantly send a lot of snaps to other people.
Can you have the yellow emoji with more than one person?
No.
The yellow heart emoji is only for one special friend on the app and that is the person on Snapchat to whom you send snaps the most.
