With this latest update, subscribers will have access to a total 11 exclusive features, including the Story Rewatch Indicator.
As a part of the subscription service, users will be able to access:

Last month, Snapchat unveiled that its calling and messaging features will now be available on the web.
The new on the web feature will allow Snapchatters to use the same features in the app – Bitmoji, Chat Reactions, Chat Reply, and In-Chat Presence – now in a web browser.
Users can take advantage of all of their favourite features from messaging on the mobile app, plus Lenses is also coming soon for video calls. Snapchatters will also be able to send Snaps right from their computer.
