See a new emoji next to your name and score on Snapchat but you aren’t sure what it means? Find out what the special purple emojis are all about, here.
On Tuesday, Snapchat released a new update that added a low battery mode when your phone is getting low on juice. But with the update came a little surprise that Snapchat is best known for -- new emoji! Though it's been a while since we've seen any new emoji added to the app, today, everyone with their birthdate stored in the app will see a new emoji beside their user name and score. The emoji has a purple background and includes your designated zodiac sign. It's not a major update of course, but it's enough to get folks talking on social media anytime new emoji are added anywhere.
