WhatsApp May Add Optional ‘WhatsApp Plus’ Subscription With More Customisation Features
For more than a decade, WhatsApp has stuck to a simple formula: keep messaging free and avoid the kind of premium tiers many other apps rely on. That approach helped the platform grow into one of the most widely used messaging services in the world.
Now it appears the company may be experimenting with something slightly different.
Several reports suggest WhatsApp is developing an optional paid tier called WhatsApp Plus . The idea isn’t to charge users for sending messages or making calls. Those core services would remain free. Instead, the subscription would focus on giving users more control over how the app looks and how chats are organised.
In other words, it’s less about unlocking messaging and more about personalising the experience.
One of the biggest changes being explored involves the way chats are pinned. At the moment, WhatsApp allows users to pin three conversations at the top of their chat list. Under the proposed Plus plan, that limit could expand dramatically, potentially allowing users to pin as many as twenty chats.
