Snapchat has announced the new features available to Snapchat+ subscribers from next week.
Snapchat+ is the subscription service for new, pre-release, and experimental features, available for AUD$5.99/month.
Launched in late June, Snapchat+ is already seeing a huge appetite from the Australian Snapchat community. In just over six weeks, there are over 1 million paying subscribers globally.
Currently, Snapchat+ subscribers can show off the subscription with a Snapchat+ Badge, customise their app icon, see who is rewatching their Stories, pin BFFs, share exact locations with chosen friends, and more.
With this latest update, subscribers will have access to a total 11 exclusive features, including the Story Rewatch Indicator.
As a part of the subscription service, users will be able to access:
Priority Story Replies: Users’ replies will be more visible to Snap Stars.
Post View Emoji: Pick an emoji you want friends to see after they view your Snaps. It’s a signature way to sign-off your Snaps.
New Bitmoji Backgrounds: Give your Bitmoji background more flair with special backgrounds like gleaming gold and a beach paradise.
New App Icons: Change up your homescreen Snapchat app icon with new designs
The subscription service is now available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, India, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Belgium, Finland, and Austria.
Last month, Snapchat unveiled that its calling and messaging features will now be available on the web.
The new on the web feature will allow Snapchatters to use the same features in the app – Bitmoji, Chat Reactions, Chat Reply, and In-Chat Presence – now in a web browser.
Users can take advantage of all of their favourite features from messaging on the mobile app, plus Lenses is also coming soon for video calls. Snapchatters will also be able to send Snaps right from their computer.
