On Snapchat’s Snap Map, the battery icon represents the battery status of the user’s device. When you see this icon next to a friend’s Bitmoji on the map, it indicates how much battery life they have left on their phone. This can give you an idea of whether they might be actively using their device or if they could potentially be less responsive due to a low battery.
The battery icon is displayed in different colors, typically reflecting the battery level:
- Green: The user has a good battery level and is likely to be available.
- Yellow: The user has a moderate battery level, which may suggest they could be less active.
- Red: The user has a low battery level, indicating they might not be available or could soon run out of power.
It’s important to note that this feature is part of Snapchat’s efforts to provide context about friends’ availability and engagement, and it’s designed to enhance social interactions within the app. The battery status is updated in real time based on the user’s device.
