- Snapchat+ is Snapchat’s premium subscription that offers users access to “a collection of exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features” in the social media app.
- A Snapchat Plus subscriber can add an elusive star icon next to their profile name to indicate they are a Snapchat+ subscriber.
- If you see a message font much larger than yours, the sender has used the chat effect feature of Snapchat Plus.
Knowing if someone from your circle has subscribed to Snapchat+ (Snapchat’s premium subscription) can sometimes feel like cracking a code. Snapchat Plus offers enhanced features, like Snapchat Planets, beyond the standard app functionalities. This leaves many users wondering how to tell if someone has access to these exclusive perks. This post will guide you through the subtle signs and indicators that might reveal if someone is enjoying the exclusive benefits of Snapchat’s premium subscription.
1. Snapchat+ Badge
This might be the simplest way to determine if someone has Snapchat Plus. When you subscribe to Snapchat Plus, Snapchat gives you the ability to add an exclusive star icon next to your Snapchat profile name. So, if you want to find out if your friend or someone you follow has Snapchat Plus, all you need to do is to head over to their Snapchat Profile and look for the Star badge next to their Profile name.
However, Snapchat also offers the ability to hide the Star badge to premium subscribers, so the presence of the star does not guarantee that the user has Snapchat Plus. In that case, head over to the other indicators we have detailed below.
2. Replayed Your Snap Twice
Now, this is something that will give you guaranteed proof that your friend is a Snapchat Plus subscriber. You all must already know that Snapchat allows you to replay an already-played snap once, and the sender gets an alert once the sent snap is replayed. However, with Snapchat Plus, a user can replay a snap twice, so if you get an alert that your friend has replayed your snap twice, then your friend is a guaranteed Snapchat Plus subscriber.
3. Premium Chat Wallpaper
Like any other social media or messaging app, you can add custom chat wallpapers on Snapchat as well. When adding a chat wallpaper on Snapchat, you will see that many chat wallpapers are locked and have a Star badge over them. This means that Snapchat has reserved those wallpapers exclusively for Snapchat Plus members. So, if a user has used a premium chat wallpaper or an image from a camera roll as a chat wallpaper, that user has Snapchat Plus.
4. Premium/AI-Generated Profile Background
Snapchat offers you a set of profile backgrounds that are visible beneath your Bitmoji in your Snapchat profile. Now you can make an AI-generated custom profile background from any prompt if you are a Snapchat Plus subscriber. So, to tell if someone has Snapchat+, head over to the user’s profile and look for the AI badge with a golden ring around it on the profile background.
5. Custom Story Expiration
With Snapchat+, you can set a custom expiration time for your Snapchat stories; you can set your story to expire after 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 2 days, 3 days, or 1 week after posting. So, if you see the same story from someone even after 24 hours, they might have subscribed to Snapchat Plus. However, there are also chances that they might be posting the same story when the previous one expires.
And that’s it; this is how you find out if someone has a Snapchat Premium subscription.
