Key takeaways

  • The upcoming subscription is aimed at users looking for deeper personalisation options inside the app rather than essential messaging features.
  • For iPhone users, the feature is still being introduced gradually, so availability currently depends on the account and region.
  • The pricing structure appears to vary by country during the Beta stage.

Why this matters: local context for readers following news across Pakistan and the region.

Add ARY News on Google AAResize Whats App is preparing to roll out a new premium subscription plan called Whats App Plus, with the service now beginning to appear for a limited number of i OS users after its earlier Beta rollout on Android.

The upcoming subscription is aimed at users looking for deeper personalisation options inside the app rather than essential messaging features. According to details shared through Beta tracking updates, Whats App Plus will remain completely optional, meaning regular users will still be able to access standard chats, calls, and media sharing without paying anything extra.

For iPhone users, the feature is still being introduced gradually, so availability currently depends on the account and region. Users who have access can reportedly check directly through the settings section inside WhatsApp, where the subscription dashboard may already be visible.
