Meta tries to monetize WhatsApp, because before its acquisition by Facebook in 2014, the application was paid for. The rumor has been confirmed that the company is preparing to launch a subscription for professionals, since WhatsApp Premium is now available in the beta version of WhatsApp.
According to the WABetaInfo site, WhatsApp is preparing to launch a Premium subscription for business users. Meta’s instant messaging service is not considered a very professional tool. Companies are aware that the platform is, like other Meta services, Facebook and Instagram, one of the favorite targets for hackers. Many prohibitive points for most professionals, well aware that cyber security is a matter of survival in today’s world.
However, this doesn’t stop WhatsApp from bravely trying their luck with them. The platform is about to announce a Monthly subscription. Members of the WhatsApp beta program can already access the application settings on their smartphone and discover the new WhatsApp Premium menu. In the latter, they will have the ability to create personalized contact links like https://wa.me/phonandroid, for example.
With WhatsApp Premium you will have a personalized link and you can share an account on multiple devices
As a business, you may want to remember your address to potential customers, but you can still edit this link once a quarter. Once changed, the old link will be available again for other users. Likewise, WhatsApp Premium allows share one account with 10 devices. A feature that should effectively facilitate coordination between employees who manage a single account for their company.
Here in everything and for everyone two features offered by WhatsApp Premium, bonus remember, for a fee. Individuals, therefore the vast majority of users of the application, will see no interest in subscribing to this service. Professionals, on the other hand, have such a choice of applications, paid or free, that WhatsApp will hardly get along well, perhaps the possibility, finally, of making video calls with 32 participants, will tip the scales in its favor? WhatsApp Premium is currently only available in the beta version of the app on Android and via TestFlight for iOS, and no details on an official launch date or subscription price have yet emerged. It is said that this will vary according to the markets.
