Meta has launched WhatsApp Plus, a paid version of WhatsApp that has a long list of additional features. From what we know, WhatsApp Plus allows you to increase the number of pinned chats and choose new themes: it will cost 2.49 euros per month.
After rumors, tests and first releases now Meta has decided to truly implement the Plus functions on its applications. Let’s start from the most important case: WhatsApp. The messaging app with over two billion users. Naomi GleitHead of Product at Meta, announced the launch of in a video published on Instagram Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus, and Facebook Plus. A launch that is planned “globally”, all over the world. Your subscription plan will be managed within Meta Onea new space in which Meta has decided to manage all its subscriptions.
The Plus version of WhatsApp will cost $2.99. In Europe it should be 2.49 euros. It is not the first time that the app is paid, on the contrary. WhatsApp had an annual fee until January of 2016albeit very small. The subscription was expensive 0.89 euros per yearat least for the users who used it Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone. Yes, there was a version of Windows dedicated to smartphones.
The new features of WhatsApp Plus
To understand the functions of WhatsApp Plus we can dig into all the articles that have come out in the last few months on the paid version of the app. There will be new themes, the ability to create custom ringtones, stickers and the ability to pin up to 20 chats top in conversations. Of course, from what it seems at the moment there isn’t a killer app. It’s missing something actually interesting that would drive users to pay a subscription for a service that they would still have in a free version.

Instagram and Facebook will also have a Plus version
There Plus version it also comes up Instagram And Facebook. Here too the scheme is the same: the versions we know of the apps remain the same, with the Plus subscription additional elements are added. On Instagram, for example, there will be a new package for all Stories. Here the cost of the subscription increases: we come to $3.99 per month. From what has emerged so far, all these services are however separated from the channel Meta Verifiedso to speak, the subscription that has a blue check next to the name.
