Snapchat has introduced some new features for Snapchat Plus subscribers. Prominent among them is the ability to post a Snapchat story for up to a week, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of a disappearing story.

The new Custom Story Expiration feature lets you set a time limit for Stories. This can be for an hour and go up to a week. So far, Snapchat Stories have only been around for 24 hours. With this new ability, people will be able to keep a certain story, for example about an event, alive for up to 7 days so that there is more engagement.

Then comes custom notification sounds for users, which lets you have different notification tones for different people. This is similar to how you can set a different name for people on Snapchat.
