Snapchat Plus can be hard to verify from the outside because indicators are controlled by the user, but there are a few common signs people look for. Direct indicators you might see
- A small star badge next to the user's display name or profile, indicating a Snapchat Plus subscription. Note that users can choose to hide this badge, so its absence isn’t definitive.
- Stories that stay visible longer than the standard 24 hours (Snapchat Plus allows options for longer visibility), though this can be affected by privacy settings and story expiry choices.
- A profile or chat UI that shows “premium” or AI-generated background options, which are associated with Plus features.
Other behavior cues (not definitive)
- The ability to replay snaps more than once.
- Having certain premium customization options (e.g., unique wallpapers) visible in the user’s profile or chat settings.
Important caveats
- Snapchat Plus indicators are opt-in and can be hidden or customized by the user, so none of these signs alone guarantees someone has Snapchat Plus.
- There’s no universal public all-encompassing method provided by Snapchat to confirm another user’s subscription status without their explicit disclosure.
If you’re trying to determine this for safety or privacy reasons, the respectful approach is to ask the person directly or rely on your own observations without making strong assumptions from a single cue.
