Ammon News - WhatsApp is developing a new optional premium subscription plan for the standard consumer app that will offer users extra features in exchange for a monthly fee. This plan is called "WhatsApp Plus", it is under development for Android and iOS, and it's not yet publicly released.

WhatsApp Plus will offer several customization options to change the app theme, app icon, and accent colors. These include a selection of 14 new icons and multiple color choices for interface elements. This addition will give users more control over the look of the app.

A premium feature to pin up to 20 chats instead of the standard limit of three will be included in the plan. So users will be able to add 17 more pinned chats beyond the current limit of 3. This expansion will give users more flexibility to keep their most important conversations easily accessible.

A set of exclusive ringtones will be offered only to subscribers. Each ringtone has its own distinctive style. This will make it simpler for users to personalize their calling notifications based on their moods. New ringtones available exclusively for WhatsApp will help users distinguish their call notifications from those of other apps more easily.

WhatsApp Plus is expected to include even more features over time, expanding the ways subscribers can personalize and enhance their WhatsApp experience. For example, WhatsApp Plus users will access to exclusive stickers that are not available to free users. Additionally, some reactions to messages could become more immersive and interactive. These enhancements are aimed at making conversations more dynamic and engaging for those who choose to subscribe, while keeping the core messaging features free and unchanged for everyone else.

Note that WhatsApp Plus is completely optional. This means that users are not required to subscribe in order to continue using WhatsApp.
