Launched back in 2011, Snapchat is known to be the most powerful social media application that enables you to share snaps (photos and videos) with friends and other connected users. The best part is that shared content disappears once the user views it or unless you save it to your Memories or story.

Snapchat is known for maintaining the same format while adding new features that are fun to use and share. This social media app has done a great job in balancing its unique iconic yellow style and additional features, such as Maps and Bitmojis.

One of the latest features is Snapchat Plus, launched in June last year. Let’s discover more about this Snapchat feature and make the most out of it.

What is Snapchat Plus?

This latest feature is the paid version of Snapchat. Users need to spend $3.99/a month to enjoy this great feature.

Snapchat Plus enables users to pin anyone available on their friend list as their number one BFF. Having someone as your BBF on the social media app lets you track their whereabouts for the last 24 hours through the feature Ghost Trails.

Tip: This feature works only when that friend already has turned on their location.

The best part is that you can also check how many friends have rewatched your stories using the Story Rewatch Indicator.

There is also a Friend Solar Systems which is a playful and insightful feature that adds another layer of engagement and connection to your Snapchat Plus experience.

Do Subscribers of Snapchat Plus See Ads?

The standard Snapchat Plus subscription does not remove ads from the app. You’ll still see ads in Stories, Discover, and other sections of the app, just like free users. However, there is an additional “Ad-Free Plan” for Snapchat Plus that eliminates Story and Lens ads from your experience.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Standard Snapchat Plus:

Cost: Varies by country and device, but typically around USD 4.99 per month.

Features: Exclusive access to experimental and pre-release features like Friend Solar System, custom notification sounds, priority story replies, and more.

Ads: You will still see ads in Stories, Discover, and other sections of the app.
