WhatsApp Plus Now Officially Available in Indonesia
After much anticipation, WhatsApp Plus has finally been officially launched in Indonesia. The paid version of this popular messaging app is now available to users in the country. Introduced by Meta at the end of last May, WhatsApp Plus offers several additional features not found in the free version. With its various advantages, this service is expected to enhance users' communication experience.
Easy Registration and Subscription
According to KompasTekno's observation on Friday (June 19, 2026), users can easily find the option to subscribe to WhatsApp Plus through the settings menu within the app. A new menu called "Subscriptions" has been added, which directs users to a page to select a subscription package. This applies to WhatsApp users on both Android and iOS.
WhatsApp Plus is priced at Rp 13,900 per month excluding tax, but users have the opportunity to enjoy a one-month free trial. This allows users to explore the new features before deciding to subscribe permanently.
Key Features of WhatsApp Plus
WhatsApp Plus offers a variety of features designed to meet the needs of users who want more than just a standard instant messaging service. Some notable features include:
- Additional privacy settings for better control.
- Options to customize the app's interface appearance.
- Improvements in sending and receiving multimedia files.
- Extra security features for users.
With these features, WhatsApp Plus aims to provide a richer and more enjoyable communication experience. Additionally, users can access these features more easily through an intuitive settings menu.
Support from Meta for Active Users
Meta, the developer of WhatsApp, stated that the launch of WhatsApp Plus is a strategic step to provide more value to active users. With billions of people using the app worldwide, WhatsApp Plus aims to increase user engagement by offering more features.
Meta also emphasized that this service does not replace Meta Verified, which was previously available. Meta Verified remains focused on account verification and user identity protection. WhatsApp Plus is expected to become a new revenue source for the company, beyond the existing income from advertisements.
Future Feature Development Plans
Meta's Head of Product, Naomi Gleit, revealed that more features will soon be added to WhatsApp Plus in the future. This move demonstrates Meta's commitment to continuous innovation and providing the best experience for users. With ongoing support and updates, WhatsApp Plus has the potential to become the top choice for those who want to maximize their communication experience.
Overall, the arrival of WhatsApp Plus in Indonesia offers new opportunities for users to enjoy additional features in an already familiar messaging app. With a one-month free trial period, users can directly experience the benefits offered before deciding to subscribe.
