WhatsApp, the world’s most widespread digital communication platform, introduced its new paid membership model, which aims to enrich and personalize the user experience, to users in Türkiye. This new step, which appeals to users who are bored with the standard appearance and functional limits of the platform, draws attention especially with the wide freedoms it offers.
In its new subscription model, WhatsApp followed a “local pricing” strategy that is quite advantageous for Türkiye compared to global market prices. This special service package, which was sold abroad for $2.99 per month, was listed in the Turkish market at a price of 41.99 TL per month.
With these steps, which remain quite economical compared to the global price, considering the current exchange rates, the platform also offers a 30-day trial period to its users. Those who are curious about the system will be able to experience all premium features for the first month without paying any fee and without any commitment, and can unsubscribe whenever they want.
HERE ARE THE PREMIUM FEATURES COMING WITH THE NEW SUBSCRIPTION MODEL
Among the innovations brought by the new subscription model, both visuality and ease of use stand out. The prominent features that will increase users’ digital comfort are listed as follows:
-Interface and Icon Change: Users can completely customize the classic logo (icon) and general theme of the application according to their own taste.
-Animated Effect Stickers: Special sticker packages with animated and moving effects are available for use in chats.
-20 Chat Pinning Limit: One of the most notable updates on the technical side, the chat pinning limit is increased from 3 to 20, especially for busy workers.
-Personalized Notification Tones: Special notification tones can be assigned to important people or groups in the messaging list.
-Advanced Chat Management: Chat lists on the main screen can be categorized and shaped entirely according to personal preferences and priorities.
This new subscription model, which is gradually being rolled out for users in Türkiye, is expected to become widespread as a completely optional “premium” experience in the coming days, while maintaining the standard free structure of the platform.
