Snapchat Plus features 2026

Snapchat+ bundles a set of extras on top of the free app. Some are just for fun, like custom icons; others give you information you can't get anywhere else, like where you rank in a friend's solar system. Snap adds and retires features regularly, and some only roll out in certain countries, so treat this as the current core list. Official details live on the Snapchat+ page.

The Snapchat+ Features List

01 · Most popular

Friend Solar System

See which planet you are in a friend's top eight, from Mercury to Neptune. Full planets guide.

02

#1 BFF Pin

Pin one friend to the top of your chat list as your #1 best friend, no matter who you snap most.

03

Story Rewatch Count

See how many friends rewatched your story — a good hint about which posts landed.

04

Custom App Icons

Swap the Snapchat icon on your home screen for an exclusive design that fits your theme.

05

Snapchat+ Badge

A small star badge on your profile. You can show or hide it any time.

06

Priority Story Replies

Your replies to public creators' stories show higher in their inbox, so they're more likely to be seen.

07

Custom Story Timer

Choose how long a story stays up instead of the default 24 hours.

08

Chat Wallpapers & Bitmoji Backgrounds

Personalize chats and your Bitmoji's profile scene with exclusive backgrounds.

Which Snapchat+ Features Are Worth It?

For most people it comes down to three: the Friend Solar System, the BFF pin and the story rewatch count. Those are the features that show you something new about your friendships and your content. Icons, wallpapers and badges are nice extras, but on their own they rarely justify a monthly fee.

If rankings make you anxious, you can use Snapchat+ with the Solar System switched off and still enjoy the rest.

How to Turn Features On or Off

  1. Tap your Bitmoji to open your profile.
  2. Tap the Snapchat+ card.
  3. Toggle each feature on or off from the list.
