Snapchat+ badge (star): A star next to your name showing you pay

The Social Anxiety Features

Some Snapchat+ features may actually be harmful to your wellbeing:

Story rewatch count: Creates anxiety about who is and isn't watching your stories
Best Friends Solar System: Gamifies friendship rankings — "Am I their Mars or their Neptune?"
These features exploit social comparison — the exact behavior that makes social media harmful according to mental health researchers
You're paying $4/month to be more anxious about your friendships
