As part of the feature, creators can turn the option to display their subscriber count on or off.

“We understand not every creator wants to have public metrics visible to their fans. Therefore, creators can choose to toggle this metric on and off as needed in their settings,” the spokesperson said.

Snapchat has been introducing multiple features focused on creators. In September, the platform had introduced creator profiles.

“Creators will be able to experience the same benefits as our verified Snap Stars, with a permanent Profile, access to advanced analytics and more that make it easier for Snapchatters to discover new Creators, and for Creators to connect with their fans,” Snap had said in its announcement.

The social media major had said that it will be rolling out features such as highlights, story replies, insights, among others in the coming months for creators.
