If you're not seeing a gold ring around your Best Friends on Snapchat, it’s likely due to one of several reasons. The gold ring typically appears around a friend’s Bitmoji in Stories when it’s their birthday, not simply because they are a Best Friend. Best Friends on Snapchat are identified by emojis like 😊, 💛, ❤️, or 💕 depending on your level of interaction, not by a gold ring. If you're expecting a visual change and it's not showing, make sure both you and your friend have updated Snapchat to the latest version and have mutual interaction.
