Short answer: Snapchat Premium (Snapchat Plus) status isn’t always publicly disclosed, but there are common signs people sometimes observe that may indicate a subscriber. Note that none of these are foolproof, and a user may hide or disable indicators. Key indicators people look for

• Profile badge: A star or special badge next to a profile or in chat lists can signal a Plus subscriber. However, users can hide or remove badges, so the absence of a badge isn’t definitive.

• Story expiration: Plus subscribers can set their stories to stay visible longer than the standard 24 hours (up to several days). If a story remains accessible beyond 24 hours, this could be a hint, though it’s not conclusive.

• Chat features and visuals: Plus may offer color changes in chats or other profile visuals (like AI-generated or unique backgrounds). Changes in chat appearance or backgrounds can be a clue but aren’t guaranteed indicators.

• Replay limits: Some reports suggest Plus users may have different replay options for snaps. If a contact replays a snap more than once, it could be a hint, but this isn’t definitive.

• Bitmoji and backgrounds: Exclusive or AI-generated Bitmoji backgrounds with a recognizable AI label around a golden ring have appeared as potential indicators. These are optional and may not always be visible.

Important caveats

• Snapchat does not officially publicize or reliably badge Plus status for every user, so indicators can be inconsistent or hidden by the user.

• Relying on a single sign can lead to incorrect conclusions; if accuracy is essential, the most reliable approach is to confirm directly with the person, if appropriate and respectful.
