While Snap hasn’t provided details on what these exclusive features will be, Paluzzi’s findings reveal that subscribers will be able to pin friends to the top of their list, gain access to exclusive icons, show a special badge on their profile, and also see how many friends have rewatched their Stories.

Benefits of Snapchat+, if any?

Snapchat is a more personally-aligned app, with users having a strong affiliation with the platform for their private messaging and interaction purposes.
