If you’re wondering whether you have Snapchat Plus, here are quick ways to check inside the app:
- Look for the Snapchat+ badge next to names
- Open Snapchat and go to your Friends tab. Tap a friend to view their profile. If you see a small white star on a dark background next to their name, that indicates they likely have Snapchat Plus. If the badge isn’t visible, they may not have Plus or may have hidden the badge in their settings.

- Check for Plus-specific features in your own account
- On your own account, Snapchat Plus features typically appear as options you can enable or customize (for example, longer-lasting stories, custom chat backgrounds, or enhanced story/story-view options). If you don’t see these options, you may not be on Snapchat Plus, or it may be inactive on your device.
- Confirm via subscription status
- If you previously subscribed, you can verify in the app’s subscription management area to see if Snapchat+ is active on your account. If it’s active, you’re a Snapchat+ subscriber; if not, you’re not currently enrolled.
- If in doubt, check official help
- Snapchat’s own help resources describe Snapchat+ as a paid subscription offering exclusive features. If you’re unsure about what you should see, you can compare the features listed in your app with those described by Snapchat. This can help determine whether you’re signed up.
Notes and caveats
- The Snapchat+ badge is the most direct visual cue, but it isn’t guaranteed to be visible for every user or in every app version. Features and badges can change with updates, so it’s best to ensure your app is up to date.
- Some users may have Plus but choose to hide the badge, or may be in a region where certain features behave differently.
- If you’re trying to determine someone else’s Snapchat+ status, you’re limited to what their profile and features reveal; privacy settings and UI changes can affect what you can infer.
