SNAPCHAT has been one of the most used social media platforms, with its “snapstreaks” and “best friends” features.
First released on July 8, 2011, there are over 332million daily Snapchat users around the world.
What is Snapchat plus?
Like other platforms, Snapchat is now also hopping on the subscription bandwagon.
Snapchat plus is a subscription plan app that is currently being tested with certain users.
Snapchat plus will include new and updated features, including these:
1: BFF
Snapchat plus allows its users to pin anyone on their Friends list as their #1 BFF.
It is similar to the “Close Friends” feature on Instagram, but you can only select one friend as your “BFF.”
When you pin someone as your #1 BFF and they share their location, there is the option to track their whereabouts within the past 24 hours.
2: Icons
With a Snapchat plus subscription also comes exclusive Snapchat icons that are not available to regular Snapchat users.
Snapchat plus users can get creative with this and customize background colors, add flags or flowers, and even modify the facial expression.

3: Badge
Users will also receive a special Snapchat plus badge on their profile.
Unlike Instagram or TikTok’s blue verified checkmark which requires a scrutinous process to earn, this badge simply means you are a Snapchat plus subscriber.
4: Orbit
You will also be able to see your orbit with your chosen #1 BFF.
5: View count
Last but not least, you get to view how many friends rewatched your Snapchat story.
How much is a Snapchat plus subscription?
There are three Snapchat plus tiers to choose from, including first, second, and third.
The released subscription plan is in euros, and with approximate conversion, the first tier is priced at around $5.
The second tier will be about $26 per month, and the third will be around $48 per month.
These prices are not intransigent and are subject the changed by Snapchat, per Digital Trends.
When will Snapchat plus be released to the public?
