Sure, account verification will eventually make it onto any platform that wants to be taken seriously – Snapchat is of course no exception to this.

Verified accounts on the platform are called “Official Stories”, and instead of a check mark like Twitter or Facebook they have an emoji. How fitting! So, if you’re looking for a famous person, you will get the little emoji next to their official account.

As Snapchat explains – “so you know they’re the real deal”. However, there still seem to be very few verified accounts out there.

#Snapchat starts very limited official account verification for VIPs with Official Stories.

The company confirmed this:

At this time, official stories are being rolled out to a small group of Snapchatters. Over time, official stories may become more widely available.” So, although the feature is officially here, it’s not being rolled out widely just yet.
