Anyone who uses WhatsApp on a regular basis is probably aware that the Meta-owned messaging program is free. WhatsApp does not support advertisements or paid services, but it is preparing to introduce WhatsApp Premium, a new membership service. Yes, the messaging behemoth has decided to charge for its services, and we’re here to tell you all about it. The functionality is currently being developed, and prominent tipster WABetaInfo has discovered a paid subscription in WhatsApp’s beta version. We’ve covered everything we know about WhatsApp Premium in this article, ahead of the subscription plan’s formal launch.
Everything You Need to Know About WhatsApp Premium
What is WhatsApp Premium, and How Does It Work?
WhatsApp Premium is a new business subscription service from WhatsApp. Business accounts will get additional capabilities like vanity URLs and more paired devices with WhatsApp Premium. To be clear, WhatsApp will not charge normal users a membership fee to use the service.
Features of WhatsApp Premium
We don’t know all the details of WhatsApp Premium yet because the Meta-owned platform hasn’t formally announced it. According to WABetaInfo, these are the features we know will be included in the service:
Up to Ten Connected Devices
Despite the fact that you can now use WhatsApp on numerous devices, you are still limited to your phone and four others. With WhatsApp Premium, though, that will change. Subscription-based businesses will be able to add up to 10 extra devices to their accounts. Small and medium-sized organizations with a dedicated social media team handling their WhatsApp accounts could find this useful.
Vanity URL
Another perk of the WhatsApp Premium subscription that we are aware of is the vanity URL. WhatsApp Premium users will be able to create a customized link for their businesses. Innovation Village, for example, may have an official WhatsApp account accessible via a unique URL such as wa.me/ InnovationVillage.
When you create a vanity URL, your business phone number is not concealed, as WABetaInfo points out. When users contact you using WhatsApp, they will still see your phone number. Creating a short custom URL with the company name, on the other hand, makes it more distinctive and may attract new users through word-of-mouth.
