WhatsApp Plus subscriptions rolling out to iPhone, but you probably don’t need one

WhatsApp is rolling out its paid Plus subscription to a small group of iPhone users after first testing it in Android beta.

The plan adds premium stickers, custom icons, themes, ringtones, advanced lists, and pinning for up to 20 chats.

Standard messaging remains free, indicating WhatsApp is testing monetization without changing the core app experience.

The limited iOS rollout may point to broader paid feature expansion in the future.
