The hourglass emoji on Snapchat means that your streak is about to expire. It appears next to friends with whom you have a streak that will soon end. Send a photo or video Snapchat message to save your streak and turn the hourglass back into the fire emoji.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Snapchat users can create streaks by snapping one another every day. This is indicated by the fire emoji. A number next to the fire or streak emoji will increase every day the streak is maintained. Because so many users are keen to create ever-growing streaks, the hour glass serves as a reminder to send either a photo or video snap to keep the streak going.

How long does the Snapchat hourglass emoji last?

The hourglass emoji shows up around 20 hours after the last snap was sent, so it only lasts for around 4 hours before the streak ends. Since it’s meant to show that time is running out on your streak, it’s best to send a snap as soon as possible. Remember that only photos or videos are able to save your streak; text or chat messages won’t return the streak indicator.

If you’re a frequent Snapchat user with a lot of streaks, you’ll want to watch out for the hourglass. When it appears, you only have a matter of hours before your streak with that friend will end. Send a photo or video message to keep the good times going.
