You can usually tell if someone has Snapchat Plus, but only in a limited, indirect way, and you can’t see every Plus-only feature they use.

Quick answer

  • People with Snapchat Plus often have:
    • A special star badge on their profile (a white star in a black/outline circle) next to their name or avatar in their profile view.
* Extra customization options like unique app icons, special badges, or experimental features that regular users do not see.
  • You cannot open a list of “everyone with Snapchat Plus,” and not every Plus subscriber shows obvious signs all the time.

How you can usually tell

  • Open a chat with the person, tap their Bitmoji/profile, and look near their name or avatar.
  • If you see the small white star-in-circle style badge, that is Snapchat’s indicator that the account is on Snapchat+.
  • Tapping that badge (when visible on your own account) opens Snapchat+ customization options, which is why many tutorials point to that exact icon.

What you can’t see

  • You cannot see:
    • Their “Story rewatch count” or other analytics they get about you.
    • Their internal experimental features (like early AI/Lens features) from your side.
  • Snapchat does not give a public “Plus” filter or search, so you can’t browse or sort friends by who pays for Snapchat Plus.

Why Snapchat does it this way

  • Snapchat+ is designed as a subscriber perk with some visible flair (like the star badge) and some private power‑user tools (rewatch indicators, extra settings).
  • That mix keeps it feeling like a cosmetic/status upgrade without turning it into a full public badge system where everyone is ranked by who pays.

TL;DR:
If someone has Snapchat Plus, you’ll sometimes see a little white star badge by their profile in the chat/profile view, but there’s no master list and many Plus perks stay invisible to other people.
