In the near future, WhatsApp could add a paid subscription , which would not be mandatory, but would have advantages. The first of these would be the possibility of using it from 10 devices at the same time, offering more versatility to manage an account from WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.
Given the failure of the messaging platform when it tried to charge an annual fee (of less than 1 euro per year) to consumers, the new paid subscription would be aimed at WhatsApp Business, that is, at companies and small businesses that use the app to interact with your customers.
The paid subscription would allow WhatsApp to be used from 10 devices at the same time compared to the current 4 , which can make a difference when it comes to sharing the work between those responsible for customer service.
The paid subscription would offer other exclusive benefits , which have not been leaked for now. What has transpired is the redesign of the interface to link devices that will be used in WhatsApp Business:
WhatsApp plans have been discovered thanks to the hidden code in the app, but for now the subscription has not been officially announced, nor is it possible to contract it.
What seems clear is that WhatsApp will not charge for any service that was previously free , those who wish can continue to enjoy all the functions free of charge, as before.
The idea seems similar to the Twitter Blue subscription, only focused exclusively on companies, professionals and small businesses.
The key will be to know exactly what advantages the payment of a monthly fee for WhatsApp Business will entail , and what the amount to be paid will be. If companies believe that it is profitable for them to increase sales or improve customer service, they will not hesitate to make the investment.
We have already explained how to make a WhatsApp Business profile for companies, which are becoming more and more necessary. WhatsApp paid subscription can be useful in some cases , and it is a good decision not to offer it for end consumers, who are very reluctant to pay for day-to-day apps.
