If you have been sending snaps again to the friend who gets an hourglass emoji, we expect the hourglass emoji will be dissapear and the fire emoji or Snapstreak will keep on blazing alive. So the hourglass emoji meaning on Snapchat is a reminder that you are not sending snaps to your homies recently, and you must keep sending snaps (not chat, it will affect anything if you are sending chat) to each other to get rid of hourglass emoji.
