If you are bored of using WhatsApp every day and want new features, then now you can change the look of the app. To provide new features and a better experience, Meta has started the trial of its new paid service, WhatsApp Plus, in India. This update is coming for both mobile and web users and it has special features which were awaited for years. However, Meta will have to pay a monthly fee for this service. Let us know how to activate WhatsApp Plus and what are its benefits. Meta charges Indian users ₹79 per month for this service. This is a recurring plan, meaning the fee will be automatically deducted from your account every month unless you cancel it. The good thing is that the company is also offering one month free trial.
**How to activate it**
First of all, open WhatsApp on your phone.
Tap the three-dot menu at the top right.
Clicking on it will open the settings menu.
Find the new ‘Subscriptions’ option and tap on it.
Select WhatsApp Plus to start a one-month free trial.
**What features are available in WhatsApp Plus?**
Meta has clarified that this is an optional subscription; Users who want to improve their chat experience can choose this. Many special features are available in it, such as:
**Custom App Icon:** You can replace the WhatsApp logo with your own logo.
**Customizable Look and Theme:** You get the option to change the overall look and theme of the app.
**Exclusive stickers and ringtones:** This plan includes exclusive stickers and ringtones that are not available to general users.
**Upgraded Chat List:** A feature that allows better chat management.
**Pinned Chats:** You can pin important chats to the top of your screen. Also, WhatsApp has clarified that even after taking the subscription, the security of your chats and calls will remain. All messages will remain end-to-end encrypted. However, even with this paid version, you will not be able to get rid of the ads that appear in status updates.
