  * Select Snapchat+ on your profile to sign up for Snapchat Plus in the app. However, we couldn’t find this option on Android. Snapchat Plus may still be coming out in the above-mentioned countries.

According to The Verge, Snapchat  will only have “cosmetic” updates to its functionality. You will be able to customise the app’s icon, pin and identify friends as “BFFs,” and “see who rewatched a tale.”

The Verge points out that, similar to Twitter Blue, paying for a subscription to Snapchat Plus does not guarantee ad-free use of the service. Despite paying the monthly fee of $4, you will still be subjected to advertisements.
