4 Ways to Improve Your Snapchat Experience Using Snapchat+

Social media apps are increasingly allowing users to personalize their profiles to give them a unique look and feel. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and now Snapchat have all jumped on the trend.

Doing this makes your profile somewhat exclusive and gives your followers something different. Here are the four ways that Snapchat+ allows you to customize your Snapchat experience, so you can stand out from other users.

1. Priority Story Replies on Snapchat

As a Snapchat+ subscriber, your replies to other users' public Stories will be prioritized and emphasized on their list of replies. This increases the visibility of your replies, which, in turn, increases your chances of getting a response from the creator.

When you type your reply, the text box will have a gold ring around it to show that it’s a Priority Story Reply. That’s how you know it will stand out on the recipient’s side.

Snapchat+’s Priority Story Reply is similar to Instagram’s Live Subscriptions feature, which adds a purple badge next to subscribers' names. This makes subscribers stand out in a creator’s Story replies and in their Direct Messages.

2. Set Your Post View Emoji

This feature is like adding a signature at the end of a letter. You can enable a signature emoji that will be shown after your friends view a snap you sent them. The emoji will appear next to your name, and you can choose any emoji you fancy.

Here’s how to enable it: open the Snapchat app and go to yourProfile > Snapchat+ membership card > Post View Emoji. Then choose your favorite emoji. You’re all done. Not to be confused with Bitmoji reactions, Post View Emoji appear in your friends' chat view and are exclusive to Snapchat+ subscribers.

Using Snapchat’s Bitmoji reactions, on the other hand, is available on Snapchat’s free version. Speaking of reactions, learn themeanings of different emoji faces, so you never incorrectly use an emoji again.

3. Bitmoji Backgrounds

Bitmoji Backgrounds are exclusive backgrounds that you can change to reflect your mood, the season, or when you’re on vacation. For instance, you can add a golden Bitmoji Background when in Dubai, or one with palm trees if you’re on an island getaway.

Get started by navigating to yourProfile > background icon > choose your background. You can easily identify Bitmoji Backgrounds exclusive to Snapchat+ by a ribbon with a star around them.

Another way to personalize your Snapchat experience is by customizing the Snapchat app icon. This changes the appearance of the Snapchat logo on your device’s home screen.

To choose a different app icon, go to yourProfile > Snapchat+ membership card > App Icon. Now go through the options and choose any icon you like. Follow the same steps anytime you want to change it to something different.
