WhatsApp is working on notification bubbles on Android
WhatsApp is working on a feature that brings support to notification bubbles. Notification bubbles let conversations appear as floating icons on the screen. They make it easier for users to access their chats without leaving the current app. When a new message arrives, a floating bubble appears on the screen regardless of which app is currently in use. Tapping the bubble opens a compact version of the WhatsApp chat interface. The feature is expected to work on Android 11 and newer versions.
WhatsApp Plus is rolling out with new premium features
This week, WhatsApp has rolled out a new a href="https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-plus-is-rolling-out-new-premium-features/">premium subscription plan called WhatsApp Plus. It is a premium tier designed to enhance the user experience with additional features that go beyond the standard app. These include premium animated stickers that can expand across the screen, and the ability to pin up to 20 chats at the top of the chat list. WhatsApp Plus also allows users to change their app theme by choosing from a set of 18 new color options and the app icon from a selection of 14 new icons. Subscribers can also choose a premium ringtone for their calls and apply settings in bulk to their lists.
WhatsApp Plus: pricing and availability
The subscription is expected to cost around $2.50 per month. However, the exact price may vary depending on the country. WhatsApp Plus is optional and currently available only on WhatsApp Messenger for Android. Only users who choose to subscribe will have access to its premium features, while everyone else can continue using the standard app without any changes. Note that the plan keeps the core messaging service free, as WhatsApp has not moved to a paid model by default. WhatsApp continues to offer its essential features at no cost.
