Snapchat is known for its new features, and compared to other social platforms, Snapchat has many unique features. And since the launch of Snapchat Plus in 2022, we are seeing new features every week. Recently, many Snapchat users have been confused about what a replay symbol or icon is that they are seeing in their Snapchat Story.
In today’s article, we will learn about the Snapchat story replay symbol, what it is, and how it works.
What is Story Replay Symbol/Icon Meaning on Snapchat
When you post a Story on Snapchat, your Snapchat friends watch your Story, but since the new replay feature has come on Snapchat, whenever any of your Story viewers replays your story, that is, watches it more than once, you get to see the “Replay” symbol in your Snapchat Story viewer list.
And this feature is quite similar to the “Story Rewatch count” of Snap Plus.
Benefits of Story Replay Icon/Symbol Meaning on Snapchat
The Story Replay feature is quite confusing, but it can also have some benefits. Let’s understand them.
- Snapchat users will be able to know how many people replay/rewatch their Stories.
- This data will also be shown to Snapchat users for brand promotions, giving brands a good idea of a creator’s audience retention.
- This feature will create more curiosity among Snapchat users.
Difference between Snapchat story replay icon & Re-watch count
Many Snapchat users, especially Snapchat+ subscribers, are often confused about the actual difference between the Snapchat+ Story Re-watch Count feature and the Story Replay icon. Let’s break it down.
Snapchat Story Replay Icon: The Replay icon displayed on a Snapchat Story indicates how many people have replayed your Story; this feature is most commonly observed on Public Snapchat Stories.
Snapchat Story Re-watch Count: This is a feature exclusive to Snapchat+ subscribers. For instance, if a “re-watch eye” 👀 emoji appears on your Story displaying a count of 5, it signifies that five of your friends have watched your Story a second time.
Can I see who replayed my Snapchat story?
Personally, I found this to be a big drawback of Snapchat’s “Story Replay” feature, because in this, you can know how many people have replayed your story, but you cannot see the exact name of the person who has replayed your story.

My experience with the new Snapchat Story Replay Symbol
Personally, I found this feature to increase curiosity, because when a user sees who has replayed his story, then he will also get curious as to who replayed his Snapchat story, but due to privacy reasons, Snapchat has kept the “Story replayed list” hidden, which is a drawback of this feature.
