WhatsApp will take the train of paid subscriptions. At the moment yes only in business version, which is used by businesses and companies to maintain contact with customers. That’s what he says WABetaInformation, who was able to find evidence of participation in the beta version of the Android app. Of course, this version will have exclusive features for those who want to open a wallet.
According to the aforementioned media, whatsapppremiumas known at present withoptional subscription, will allow you to link up to 10 devices in one account. This offer will, of course, be made possible by the multi-device feature, which was only introduced in 2021 across the entire platform. The service will also let you name each command to distinguish them and make them easier to manage.
Another novelty is related to links. WhatsApp Business currently allows you to create and share links that aim to redirect users to a specific chat. However, with WhatsApp Premium it will be possible to create unique and personalized links. For example: wa.me/hypertext. Thus, companies could add their brand to the links, which made them easier to remember. If for any reason you wish to change the link, you will have to wait 90 days after the last change was made.
These are the only known features of WhatsApp Premium at the moment. We’ll probably have more details in a few weeks, as the subscription features still in development.
In view of the above, it is difficult to predict when those who wish to subscribe to the Premium version of WhatsApp Business can not be predicted. The question, which also remains unknown, is his priceas it could mean the success or failure of the proposal – along with the available features, of course.
WhatsApp wants to monetize
While it is true that WhatsApp is dependent on one of the most economically powerful technology companies in the world (Meta), they never stopped their idea of earning income on their own. A few years ago, there was even talk that the service might start showing ads, but this plan was soon abandoned.
It’s hard for WhatsApp to bet on ads at the moment. Cause? Platforms such as iOS and Android make it difficult to collect personal data that allows you to deploy targeted advertising. However, with a company led by Mark Zuckerberg, nothing can be ruled out. For now, they plan to generate revenue from WhatsApp Business users.
