Snapchat+ comes to India with exclusive features — here's how much it costs and how to sign up

• Snapchat's new subscription plan is available on iPhone and Android for just ₹49 in India.
• Snapchat+ lets you change the app icon, see who rewatched your stories, and more.
• Below, read about all the new features and how to get Snapchat+.

Photo sharing platform Snapchat has introduced its Snapchat+ subscription in India for just ₹49 per month. The paid service brings many exclusive features and prioritized support from the Snapchat team.
Initially, Snapchat launched its paid subscription service in 10 countries; now, India is the latest addition. Also, a Snapchat+ subscription in India is available for just ₹49, which is relatively cheap compared to Snapchat+ in the US, as it costs $3.99 per month (approx ₹317.81).
Keeping the pricing in mind, it looks like Snapchat wants to capitalize on its huge user base in India to grow its revenue. Recently, Snapchat suffered a nearly $10 billion loss, and its shares hit a new 52-week low. Also, according to a report, Snapchat is in the early stage of planning layoffs.

How to get Snapchat+

• Open your Snapchat profile, and tap the setting icon on the screen’s top right corner.
• Scroll down until you see Snapchat+.
• Tap on Snapchat+, and you will see available plans.
• Once you subscribe, a menu will appear explaining some features that Snapchat+ gives you.
