Overview
- Meta confirmed Monday that it is running a small WhatsApp Plus test after WABetaInfo spotted the features in Android beta builds.
- The plan is optional and leaves messaging, calls, and end-to-end encryption free for all users.
- Early perks include custom themes and app icons, premium animated stickers, 10 ringtones, bulk settings for chat lists, and the ability to pin up to 20 chats.
- Trial prices reported at €2.49 per month in Europe, PKR 229 in Pakistan, and MXN 29 in Mexico, with monthly auto-renew billing through app stores and some testers seeing a one-month free trial.
- Access is limited to select Android users, with iOS support planned later, and the test signals Meta’s push to add consumer subscriptions beyond business messaging.
