Snapchat Friend Solar System Not Working?
If you don’t see planets by your Snapchat friends’ names, you likely don’t have access to the Snapchat Plus feature yet. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
Update to the latest version of Snapchat: Snapchat rolls out features gradually, so ensure you have installed the newest update.
Check Snapchat Plus availability in your country: As of early 2023, Snapchat Plus is only available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Verify your birthdate is set accurately: Snapchat needs your accurate birth date to assign your zodiac sign planet. Make sure your birth date is set correctly in your Snapchat profile.
Be patient for the feature to reach your account: Snapchat takes time rolling out new features. Request a friend with Snapchat Plus to confirm if they see a planet by your name. If not, hang tight for Snapchat to enable it for you.
