New change in social media

The world of social media is changing rapidly, where not only free services but also premium experiences are becoming a priority for users. In this direction, Meta has announced new “Plus” subscription plans for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Through these plans, users will get such features which are not available in normal accounts.

Launch of premium experience

Meta’s new Plus model is designed for users who want to make their social media experience more personalized and enhanced. According to the company, this service will be completely different from the existing Meta Verified. While Meta Verified offers identity verification and blue tick, the main focus of the Plus plan will be on user experience and exclusive tools.

New features in WhatsApp Plus

WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, will now offer some special features to Plus subscribers. Users will be able to set custom themes and unique ringtones as per their choice. Apart from this, a large collection of premium stickers will also be available, which will make chatting even more fun.

Along with this, there will also be the facility to pin more chats to the top than before, making it easier to access important conversations.

New Story Features of Instagram Plus

The Plus plan will bring many interesting features for Instagram users. One of the key features is “Story Rewatch Track”, which will allow users to know how many times their story has been viewed.

Apart from this, there will also be an option to create unlimited audience group by overcoming the limit of close friends list, which will be beneficial for those users who want to share different content for different people.

Facility to view anonymous stories

Another interesting feature of Meta Plus is “Secret Story Preview”. Under this, users will be able to see the preview of someone’s story, while their name will not appear in the viewer list. This feature will be useful for those who want to watch some content but do not want to register their presence.


More control over stories and profiles

Plus subscribers will be able to keep their Story on their profile for 24 hours. Through the “Story Spotlight” feature, additional visibility can be given to one story every week.

Additionally, cosmetic upgrades like the ability to search the viewer list, animated super heart reactions, custom app icons, special bio fonts, and pinning more profiles will also be available.

Meta One: New initiative for AI and business users

Meta doesn’t want to be limited to just social media features. The company is also working on a new AI and business-focused subscription model called “Meta One”. This can range from basic AI features to advanced reasoning and content generation tools.

Features like verified badges, protection against fake accounts, better profile promotion, advanced analytics and content management tools can also be included for creators and business users.

Launch date in India

Although Meta has announced the global rollout of these plans, Indian users will still have to wait for these features. The company has not shared official information about the launch date and local prices in India. It is believed that these plans can also be announced for the Indian market in the coming months.

Meta Plus plans are an important step towards making social media platforms more personal, advanced and interactive. If these features become available to Indian users at a reasonable price, it could completely change the way we use WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
