How to get charms on Snapchat

Around 2019, Snapchat killed off trophies and replaced them with Charms, mini-illustrations that represent the relationship you share with your virtual friends. They are a great way to keep track of birthdays, astrological signs, birthstones, and connections.

Snapchat Charms are visible on both iPhone and Android devices, and acquiring them is quite simple.

Here’s everything you need to know to earn a Snapchat Charm and what it means for your virtual friendship.

Get Charms on Snapchat

If you’re on Snapchat, that makes you eligible for a Snapchat Charm. Basically, the more you interact with someone, the more likely Snapchat will reward you with a Charm. You can speed up the acquisition of a Charm by constantly taking photos with your friend, sharing stories, and sending text messages.

However, some charms come without having to interact with your friends at all. For example, birthdays and astrological signs are default accesses.

Types of amulets and how to get them

There are different types of Snapchat Charms that you can earn.

Here’s a rundown of the most common ones and how you can get them:

Astrological compatibility

The astrological compatibility sign is Snapchat’s way of saying what your connection is meant to be. It is based on you and your friend’s zodiac sign. You can get this Snapchat Charm if you share an astrological connection with one of your virtual Snap friends.

Charm new friends

The New Friends Charm celebrates a new friendship in this app. You can get this Snapchat Charm when you accept a new friend. It usually appears after a week.

BFF Charm

There’s always one person you take the most photos with: your Snapchat best friend. You can get the BFF charm if you have been exchanging photos with that friend for a long time.

Shy Boy Charm

Snapchat is here to discover potential friendships and make matches. The Shy Guy Charm reminds you to expand your Snap-ships with other users. You can get this Charm if it’s been a while and you haven’t sent a Snap to that person yet.

Fast Streak Charm

Snapchat celebrates keeping a high Snapstreak streak with your friends. The Snapchat Snapstreak Charm is there to recognize your progress. You can obtain this charm when you surpass certain milestones in the number of Snapstreaks, specifically 100, 500, or 1000.

It has been a charm of minutes

Has it been a minute since you sent someone a Snap in your Snapchat DMs? That’s what the “It’s been a minute” amulet is all about. It’s like your personal reminder. You can get this Charm if you’ve been close with a friend on Snapchat and the app has noticed a gap in your communication.
