As per the official statement by Snap, “Today we’re starting to roll out Snapchat+, a collection of exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features available in Snapchat for $3.99/month. This subscription will allow us to deliver new Snapchat features to some of the most passionate members of our community and allow us to provide prioritized support.”

As per a report by The Verge, Snapchat Plus offers a “cosmetic upgrade”. In terms of features, subscribers will get the ability to change the style of Snapchat’s icon. They will also get the ability to see who rewatched a Story. Additionally, they will get a BFF pin that can be used to pin one of their friends’ chat history at the top under the name “BFF”. The BFF pin feature is likely to remain exclusive for Plus members only.

For the unversed, major Snapchat competitor Instagram has also introduced a paid subscription service for its creators on its own platform. Instagram said that with subscriptions, creators will be able to “develop deeper connections with their most engaged followers and grow their recurring monthly income by giving subscribers access to exclusive content and benefits.”
