Are you looking to change the streak emoji in Snapchat? The fire emoji might get redundant, so you can easily change it! The good news is that the emoji automatically changes when you get to 100 snaps, but you can also change it in settings! This wikiHow article teaches you how to change the streak emoji on Snapchat using the mobile app on your Android or iPhone.

Things You Should Know

The fire emoji can get boring, but you can change the streak emoji in "Settings > Customize Emojis > Snapstreak!"
You can use any emoji, like a teddy bear, to display next to your Snapstreaks.
If the emoji next to your streaks isn't changing, try logging out and then back in.
