Overview
- Beta builds for Android and iOS point to a paid WhatsApp Plus tier focused on visual customization and convenience upgrades.
- Reported options include app themes, custom accent colors, and roughly 14 alternative app icons for subscribers.
- WhatsApp Plus may lift the pinned chats cap from 3 to as many as 20, targeting power users who manage many conversations.
- Subscriber-only perks under testing include exclusive ringtones, sticker packs, and more expressive message reactions.
- Some testers report a waitlist banner in settings, but WhatsApp has disclosed neither pricing nor a launch timeline, and the feature set could change.
