Snapchat has announced a raft of new features on the platform that will give users more control over their content.
Snapchat will be one of the first communications platforms that will allow its subscription users to set the expiration time on their public Stories.
Custom story expiration will let subscribers set Snaps on their story to expire after one hour or up to one week.
With this new feature, members can make sure their friends see their special Snaps worth sharing longer or keep them coming back for their most fun and fleeting moments.
Custom Notification Sounds will let Snapchatters set different tones for different friends so they can tell who Snapped them without looking at their phone.
Another new feature is Custom Camera Color Borders will allow Snapchatters cast their favourite hue on screen as they capture content.
And just in time for Halloween, three new exclusive, seasonal, and spooky Bitmoji Backgrounds will offer new ways to decorate and personalise profiles.
Snapchat+ subscribers will have access to these exclusive features for AUD$5.99/month.
Feature already available to Snapchat+ subscribers include the Snapchat+ Badge on your profile, priority Story Replies which will make a subscribers reply more visible to Snap Stars and Post View Emoji which is an emoji signature way to sign-off Snaps.
Snapchat+ subscribers also have access to Bitmoji Backgrounds – special backgrounds for Bitmoji’s to add flair, Custom App Icons – to change up your homescreen with exclusive app icons, Rewatch Indicator – to see who has rewatching your Stories without telling who.
Additional new features include: Best Friends Forever – pinning one friend as your number one, Solar System – a special badge on a friendship profile and Ghost Trails – which shows the general direction of travel where friends have moved recently.
Snap has also pre-announced that come December, and just in time for the holiday season, Snapchatters will be able to gift their friends a subscription all without leaving the app.
With the addition of this latest drop, Snapchat+ subscribers now have access to more than 12 exclusive features.
