Emojis with faces:
😎 Face With Sunglasses: This emoji is for best buds. If you send a lot of snaps to a particular person, and in return, he sends a lot of snaps to you as well, you will see this emoji.
😬 Grimacing Face: You have a common best friend. This emoji signifies that you and another friend constantly send snaps to one single person.
😊 Smiling Face: This person is the one with whom you don’t interact as much as your best friend, but you can say his hierarchy is a bit lower. Here again, you and this friend are active and keep sending streaks periodically.
😏 Smirking Face: This emoji is there to make things a bit awkward among friends. This signifies that you might be their best friend, but they aren’t your best buds. They do send you a lot of snaps, but you don’t weigh much into being friends with them.
