2. Your profile is right there, open onto your screen.

Can you Message Someone You Subscribed to on Snapchat?

Well, the answer to this question is 'Yes' as well as 'No'.

For 'Yes' the condition: you can send messages to those who have not subscribed. Your message will be delivered but it will be shown as a 'pending' message to the receiver. For your message to be delivered as it is, you need to subscribe to the account you wish to send a message via Snapchat.

The above statement justifies the reason for 'No' as well. Until you don't subscribe to their account, though your message will be delivered it will be shown as 'Pending' in their account.

The Don'ts for the subscription of Snapchat:

• Underage- Unless you have crossed 18 years of age you cannot get a subscription tag on Snapchat.
• Bidirectional friend- For a subscription to Snapchat, you need to have at least 1 bidirectional friend.
• If you have created your Snapchat account just 24 hours ago, you cannot get a Snapchat subscription.

The Bottom Lines:

As you have seen the only way to get the subscribe button on the Snapchat profile, first to achieve the followers for a good reach and then you can change the setup by going to the public profile option in order to create a new public profile that shows the Subscribe button to users instead of Add friends.
