Meta May Soon Charge Users For Premium Instagram & WhatsApp Features

Meta has officially rolled out its anticipated “Plus” subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, and the internet is already having a meltdown over it. According to reports, the paid plans could include premium features like anonymous story viewing, advanced profile customization, exclusive stickers, extra chat pins, and deeper story insights. While Meta says the apps themselves will remain free, social media users are heavily divided over the idea of paying monthly for extra features. Some think the tools sound useful, while others are joking that social media has officially entered its “subscription service” era.
