There is another thing called Snap Stars. Those are public figures or creators who share fun and interesting content on Snapchat. Yes, they show their followers unique views on different topics like art, news, beauty, gaming, and music. Snap Stars can have their content highlighted on Snapchat and are marked with a star icon.

Snapchat does not charge any money for verification, and no one else can charge for it either. No outside companies can influence who becomes a Snap Star.

Snap Star Eligibility

To become a Snap Star, you need to consider certain things,

  1. Account Engagement: You need to have a big, active audience. Sometimes, if you're famous outside of Snapchat, you can still get this even if your audience is smaller.

  2. Public Stories: You should be posting stories for everyone to see regularly.

  3. Authenticity: Your account must be for a real person, and it must be their official account. General interest accounts can’t be Snap Stars.

  4. Popularity and Relevance: Your account is popular, gets searched for a lot, or is important to culture.

  5. Content Quality: Your posts should be original, safe, and follow Snapchat's rules.

Having a big account doesn’t guarantee you’ll become a Snap Star. Being a Snap Star doesn’t change Snapchat's rules or give you any special rights.

Snapchat

Snapchat is a messaging app made by Snap Inc. You can enjoy using this app by sending pictures and messages that disappear after a short time. You can share photos with friends, and now users can also post 'Stories' that last 24 hours and watch short videos from brands on 'Discover.'

Snapchat also has a private area called 'My Eyes Only' for saving photos. Some messages are protected with special security (encryption), and they plan to use more of this in the future.
