WhatsApp Tests Paid Plus Plan with Themes, Icons, and More Pins
WhatsApp is testing a paid subscription tier called WhatsApp Plus for Android beta users. It adds customization features such as premium sticker packs with fullscreen animations, optional accent colors, and alternative app icons, plus a higher pinned-chat limit (3 to 20), 10 exclusive ringtones, and bulk theming/notification options across chats. The beta shows €2.49 per month in Europe and $29 in Mexico, with a potential one-month free trial; core messaging remains free, and the plan isn’t expected to affect WhatsApp Business. iOS support and wider rollout are planned for future releases.
