According to a new report, WhatsApp is planning to launch a new paid subscription service called WhatsApp Plus. WhatsApp Plus is expected to cost €2.49 per month in Europe, PKR 229 per month in Pakistan, and MXN 29 per month in Mexico. Currently, WhatsApp is testing WhatsApp Plus.

Benefits of WhatsApp Plus
According to the report, the new WhatsApp Plus service will offer several benefits that are not available in the regular app.

Subscribers to the WhatsApp Plus service will also get access to exclusive premium stickers, the ability to change their app theme by choosing from 18 colors, and a custom icon for WhatsApp. You can see the customized icon for WhatsApp on your phone's home screen and in the app drawer.

Benefits with WhatsApp Plus include 10 exclusive premium ringtones and the ability to pin up to 20 chats for easy access. It's worth noting that the app currently only allows users to pin three chats.

You can also apply certain settings simultaneously to multiple chats and groups that you've added to a specific custom list.

For example, you can set a theme to apply to all conversations in a particular list, and when you add a new conversation to that list, the theme will automatically apply to it as well.

Because WhatsApp Plus is currently being tested for Android, it's only available to a limited number of users. However, it's expected to be available to others soon. Meanwhile, reports also suggest that WhatsApp support for iOS will be rolled out at a later date.

All of WhatsApp's basic features remain free, including end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp hasn't removed any core features and added them to the paid plan – all of the Plus features are new.
