Snapchat users are furious as reports reveal the platform’s plans to introduce new subscription fees, sparking massive backlash across social media.

The popular photo-sharing app, long known for its free-to-use format, is facing intense criticism after news surfaced that Snapchat plans to roll out mandatory or expanded subscription tiers. Users have expressed frustration, arguing that the app’s charm lies in its accessibility and that adding fees could alienate its younger audience base.

According to insiders, Snapchat’s move aims to boost revenue and compete with other platforms offering premium features, but the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. Thousands of users took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to vent their anger, calling the update “unnecessary” and “greedy.” Many have even threatened to delete the app if charges are implemented.

While Snapchat+ — the optional paid version introduced earlier — offered exclusive icons and early access to features, the rumored expansion of paid services has reignited fears that free users might soon face restrictions. Experts suggest this could harm Snapchat’s reputation and drive users toward rival apps like Instagram and TikTok.

For now, Snapchat has not released an official statement addressing the backlash, but users continue to demand transparency and reassurance that core features will rema

in free.
