Premium or Not? How to Tell If Someone Has Snapchat+

To determine if someone you follow on Snapchat is a paid Snapchat+ subscriber, you can check for the Snapchat+ badge on their profile, but keep in mind that it’s optional.

Here are the steps to check if a user is a Snapchat+ subscriber:

1. Open the Snapchat app and go to the profile page of the person you want to check.
2. Look for a star badge next to their display name. This badge should be a white star within a solid black circle.
3. If you see the Snapchat+ badge, that user is definitely a Snapchat+ subscriber. However, keep in mind that not all subscribers choose to display the badge, so its absence doesn’t guarantee that someone is not a subscriber.

Additionally, there are a few other indicators that can suggest a user is a Snapchat+ subscriber, but they depend on whether the user has made use of the premium features:

• Story Duration: Snapchat+ allows subscribers to extend the duration of their Stories beyond the default 24 hours. If someone’s Story remains visible for longer than a day, they are likely a Snapchat+ subscriber.
• Post View Emoji: Snapchat+ subscribers have the option to enable a Post View Emoji, which is an emoji that appears next to their name after friends view their Snaps. If you see a Post View Emoji in the Chat screen, it’s another indicator that the user is a subscriber.
• Exclusive Bitmoji Background: If a user has an exclusive Bitmoji background on their Snapchat profile, it’s a strong sign that they are a Snapchat+ subscriber. You can confirm which backgrounds are reserved for Snapchat+ users by going to your Profile page, tapping on your Bitmoji, and then selecting ‘Pose & Background.’ The backgrounds with a lock and star on them are exclusive to Snapchat+ subscribers.

It’s important to note that some Snapchat+ subscribers may choose to hide their subscription status by not using certain premium features or not displaying the Snapchat+ badge. If you don’t see these indicators, it doesn’t necessarily mean the user isn’t a subscriber.
