Snapchat is a popular app known for its fun and sometimes confusing symbols. One of these symbols is the purple circle. You might have noticed a purple circle around someone’s little Bitmoji on Snapchat. If you’ve seen it on Snapchat and are wondering what it means, you’re not alone. This blog will explain what the purple circle on Snapchat is all about. Whether you’re a regular Snapchat user or have just started using this app, this blog will help you understand this symbol, and what it means when you see it in Quick Add.
Understanding Snapchat Bitmoji
First, it’s important to know that the little human emoji you see on Snapchat is called Bitmoji. You can make your own Bitmoji to look just like you using different clothes, hairstyles, and more. The Bitmoji is your digital character on Snapchat. You can use it to show your feelings, reactions, and personality.
The Purple Circle Around Bitmoji
Now, let’s talk about that purple circle. This circle isn’t always there; it appears when something specific happens. Here are the main times you’ll see the purple circle:
1. Quick Add
You’ll often see the purple circle in Quick Add. Quick Add is where Snapchat suggests people for you to add as friends. If you see a purple circle around someone’s Bitmoji, it means that person has uploaded a story on Snapchat in the last 24 Hours. You can only check that story after you have added that person to your friend list.
2. Chat List
The blue circle can also show up in your chat list, where you talk to your friends. If your friend has uploaded a story, Snapchat might put a blue circle around their Bitmoji. This is to let you know that your friend has updated their story. You can directly tap the blue circle to view that story.

3. Discover Stories
Snapchat also uses the purple circle to let you know when your friends have new Stories you haven’t seen yet. When you see the purple circle on your friend’s Bitmoji in the Discover section, it is to let you know that you have some Stories to catch up on. This helps you keep up with what your friends are sharing.
