What Exactly is Snapchat Plus?

Before jumping into how to cancel your subscription, let‘s quickly cover what Snapchat Plus even is.

Snapchat Plus is a paid subscription plan that gives you access to exclusive features not available on the free version of Snapchat. It costs $3.99 per month in the US after a 7-day free trial for new users.

Some of the key features unlocked with a Snapchat Plus subscription include:

• Custom app icons – Change the look of your Snapchat app icon to anything from your camera roll. Great for coordinating with your phone‘s wallpaper!

• Custom Story playback – View your friends‘ Stories in any order you want, rather than chronological.

• Pin one friend as your #1 BFF – Keep one bestie pinned at the top of your Best Friends list.

• See who rewatched your Stories – View analytics on who has replayed your Stories and how many times.

• Priority Story viewing – Your own Stories show higher in your friends‘ feeds so more people see them.

• Custom camera modes – Unlock special modes like Portrait Mode or a real-time rainbow filter.

Along with these highlights, Snapchat Plus offers a few other small perks to enhance your Snapchat experience. But as you‘ll see next, there are also good reasons you might want to cancel.

Why Would You Want to Cancel Snapchat Plus?

Snapchat Plus offers some nice upgrades, but it isn‘t right for everyone. Here are some of the top reasons you may want to cancel your Snapchat Plus subscription:

You forgot to cancel the 7-day free trial. It‘s easy to forget that the free trial auto-renews into a paid monthly plan. Cancelling avoids getting unintentionally charged $3.99.

You don‘t use the exclusive features much. The perks aren‘t worth $4/month if you don‘t take advantage of them often.

It‘s not in your budget. Snapchat Plus is cheap but an unnecessary monthly cost you‘re trying to cut.

You prefer the original Snapchat. Some find the new paid features change Snapchat too much or make it too complicated.

You only wanted to try it temporarily. Curiosity got the best of you but now you‘re over the novelty of the add-ons.

You‘re switching to iPhone or Android. Cancelling ahead of time avoids hassle if you change device ecosystems.

You need to manage subscriptions. Cutting back on recurring charges for simplicity and control over spending.

You‘re taking a Snapchat break. Removing Snapchat Plus while you temporarily deactivate your account.

No matter the reason, cancelling is quick and painless if you follow the steps for your device. Keep reading to learn how!
