What do the symbols mean on Snapchat?
The symbols on Snapchat indicate the status of your Snaps and chats. A filled red arrow means you've successfully sent a Snap without audio, while a purple one means the Snap had audio. An empty arrow means the Snap has been opened. It's like a secret code but way more fun!

Symbol decoding time! Red = image Snaps, Purple = video Snaps, Blue = texts, and the arrows when filled mean sent, empty mean opened. Snapping Sherlock Holmes, at your service!
Arrows show Snap status: filled sent, hollow opened. Colors tell you the type: red without audio, purple with audio, blue for chat.
Red arrows = Snap sent/received without audio. Purple arrows = Snap sent/received with audio. Blue arrows = Chat sent/received. Green arrows = Snapcash sent/received. Easy-peasy.
