WhatsApp Developing Optional 'WhatsApp Plus' Subscription with Customization Features

WhatsApp is reportedly developing an optional premium subscription called WhatsApp Plus for Android and iOS users. This paid tier aims to offer enhanced customization features such as custom themes, up to 20 pinned chats (compared to the current limit of three), exclusive stickers, ringtones, and multiple app icon options. Core messaging functions like calls, texts, and group chats will remain free and unaffected. The subscription is optional, with no confirmed pricing or launch date, and is intended to provide additional personalization without restricting basic app access.
