How to Tell if Someone has Snapchat Plus (7 Quick Ways)

Snapchat launched Snapchat Plus in 2022, which offers a range of exclusive and early-access features. Paid members benefit from quirky features, including access to a badge, rewatching the story multiple times, custom emoji reactions, and more.

These features allow the users to stand out from others. They are called Snapchat’s biggest fans. However, finding the biggest fan of Snapchat from your contact list might be trickier for you. To help you with this, we’ve provided the answer to your question below.

How do you tell if someone has Snapchat Plus?

You can find a Snapchat Plus subscription user with the help of specific identifiers. You can look for the Snapchat star or even try replaying snaps twice. You can also increase the story duration. Additionally, Snapchat+ subscribers can utilize specific features like friend ghost trails or story rewatch indicators. Hence, we’ve come up with 7 quick ways to tell if someone has Snapchat + which are explained in detail below.

1. The SuperPower – Ghost Trails

If you have shared your location with any Snapchat Plus member in the past 24 hours and have that feature in your country, they can use the Ghost Trails feature to see your location history. Nevertheless, you can hide your location by keeping the Ghost mode on in your Snap Map settings. But if you don’t, then they can trace your whereabouts!

2. Find Out The Special Badge

One of the quickest ways to unleash Snapchat Plus users is by going to their profile to discover their special badge. It’s a white star badge with a black background found next to the user’s display name. Users can pin it to their display name to make their friends aware of their subscription. However, it’s important to know a secret – users can hide their Snapchat Plus badge, making it difficult for their friends to know that they are paid users.

3. The BFF Feature

The Snapchat Plus user can designate anyone from their list as their best friend via the BFF (Best Friends Forever) feature. For this, they can either press and hold their name in the chat or on the ‘send to’ screen. However, there’s a catch, the user is allowed to select only one individual at a moment. To put your mind at ease, here’s another catch, your other friendships won’t suffer since this is between Snapchat and you, and no one else!

4. Access to Enhanced Chat Wallpapers

Just a premium star icon provides the Snapchat Plus member with the exclusive experience of chat wallpapers. The generic ones get access to chat wallpapers, but the paid ones get access to unique chat wallpapers. So, if you want to know whether or not they are a Snapchat + user, simply go to your and theirs chat, open their profile, click on the wallpaper, and if you find an attractive and unusual kind of wallpaper, then that’s another sign.

5. The Added Advantage of Snap Replay

Well, all Snapchat users get the perk of replaying their contacts’ stories once. But the Snapchat Plus subscriber has a double advantage; they can replay the stories twice, which indicates their premium status. Wondering how you will know about it? It’s easy peasy – you’ll get a notification when your story has been replayed multiple times. All you need to do is – be alert 😛

6. The Exclusive Bitmoji Background

Unlike other social media platforms, Snapchat doesn’t allow its users to keep a profile image. They display their personality through the most relatable Bitmojis. However, if you see any subscribed Snapchat user’s profile, you’ll see the difference. They can generate AI-based custom emojis with stunning backgrounds, which is not available for just Snapchat users.

7. The My Story Timer Feature

Another Snapchat Plus features include custom story timers wherein the user gets the freedom to share their story from one hour to a week’s time. This is again an indicator that the user has a subscription to Snapchat. However, here’s a tweak – the user can delete the story before it expires.

If you watch them taking advantage of features including Ghost trial, Snapchat badge, multiple snap replays, unique Bitmojis, and stories for more than 24 hours, then your friend has Snapchat Plus. So, keep your eyes on these signs.

Follow the below-mentioned steps in order to buy a Snapchat Plus subscription.

1. Open the Snapchat app and navigate to the Profile section.
2. At the top, there should be a Snapchat+ banner card similar to the one below. Tap on it.

3. Check for your favorite subscription plan and select it from the list provided:

  • Start your Snapchat Plus subscription with a monthly subscription for $3.99,
  • six-month plan for $21.99,
  • or save with an annual subscription for $29.99.

4. Once you subscribe to Snapchat+, you may have to restart the app to access its feature.

You can upgrade to a Family Plan for Snapchat+ and start sharing your subscription with friends and family. This is another alternative for replacing the annual subscription option.

Note: Snapchat Plus can only be used by users in select countries.

To subscribe to Snapchat+ on the web, follow these steps:

  • Go to snapchat.com/plus and click ‘Subscribe on web’.
  • Choose your preferred subscription plan and click ‘Continue’.
  • Sign in to your Snapchat account or create a new one if you’re not already a user.
  • Enter your payment information and agree to the Snapchat+ terms.
  • After successfully subscribing, you may need to restart the Snapchat app to access the Snapchat+ features.

FAQs

How to tell if someone is a Snapchat Plus by their score?

There is no way to identify a Snapchat Plus user by their score. One sure-shot way to determine their status is by checking their badge.

Can you see if someone half-swipes your chat?

Yes, of course! A Snapchat Plus user can see who has half-swiped their story by using the “Peek a Peek” feature. This is a distinct advantage of the Plus user to understand their relationship with their contacts.

How to tell if someone has Snapchat Plus without the badge?

Through Post View Emoji! Whenever a Plus user views a snap, their favorite emojis pop up next to their name in the Sender’s chat tab. Hence, if you see an emoji right next to your friend’s tab, then they are most likely to be a paid Snapchat user. 

Is Snapchat Plus available in all countries?

Currently, it’s available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. In the future, more countries will have access to it.
