Why have my Snapchat planets changed?

This is completely normal and it happens to everyone. The solar system isn't set in stone: it's constantly recalculating according to your recent exchanges. Here are the 3 main reasons why your ranking changed overnight:

• ✅ Snapchat is based on the last ~7 days of Snaps and chats, not on your overall history. If you've talked less to your «Mercury» this week and more to your «Venus», they may reverse.
• ✅ The ranking is updated approximately every 24 hours.. So you can see the planets change position from one day to the next, even without doing anything special.
• ✅ Group Snaps and stories don't weigh the same than direct Snaps. If you replace 1-to-1 conversations with mass mailings, your ranking can move.

📌 To remember If a person «disappears» completely from your solar system, it means they're no longer in your top 8. To bring them back, all you have to do is resume regular exchanges with them (direct Snaps + chats over several days).

And if you want to understand how Snapchat calculates its «best friends» in more detail, we have a dedicated article: how best friends work on Snapchat.
