Then again, confusion is kind of the whole point. But if you have absolutely no idea why people are sharing seemingly innocent fruit posts to their Snapchat stories instead of dog filter selfies, then you're probably going to be more than a little frustrated. It's simple enough, if you happen to know what each of the different fruit codes mean. though it's up to you whether or not you choose to divulge with whom. As for cherry? It means you are in a relationship. For example, 'blueberry' means you're single. A different fruit is associated with a different type of relationship status, which you then post to your Snapchat story. The rules of the Snapchat fruit game are actually pretty easy, once you get the hang of it. If that wasn't enough to confuse you, this trend actually started in 2016. If you've been wondering why people are posting 'cherry' on their Snapchat story, it's because they're using a code that both secretly announces a person's relationship status and drives people who are not well-versed in Gen Z emoji speak absolutely bonkers. There's a much sneakier (and way more confusing) way to tell people about your love life: with fruit. Gone are the days when a simple Facebook status update was all that you needed to let the world know you were in a relationship.
