In Snapchat, the double arrow symbol (↔️) that you might see next to a user’s name in the chat list or in conversations indicates that the user has sent you a Snap, and that you have sent one back. Essentially, it signifies that there is a bidirectional exchange of Snaps occurring between you and that user.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the feature:
Double Arrow: The presence of this symbol means that the communication is reciprocal. Both users have sent Snaps to each other, suggesting an ongoing interaction.
Single Arrow: If you see a single arrow (→), it means you have sent a Snap to that user, but they haven’t sent one back yet.
- No Arrow: If there is no arrow at all next to a name, it could mean that you have not sent them a Snap, or they haven’t responded to any Snap you’ve sent.
This system of arrows helps users quickly gauge the status of their interactions with friends on the platform, enhancing the social experience by providing visual cues about communication.
