'Best Friends' is a feature in Snapchat that lists people you communicate with most frequently. If you snapchat with someone more often than others, that someone will be featured on the list of your best friends alongside other two people that you chat with most. The best friends list is displayed on your profile and features a score that indicates the number of snaps you've sent to that person in the last 7 days.

The best friends list is updated every week and displays 3 people that you communicate with most often within the week. However, the list can be extended to accommodate 5 people by using the code "sopopular..." (note lowercase and ellipsis at the end). This secret code is entered into the text field after taking a photo after which you proceed to your friends list and hit refresh.

Snapchat has disabled the best friends feature, it has come up with a new feature called Snapchat Friend Emojis.
