Meta has announced the global rollout of new subscription plans for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company said the plans will introduce additional features for regular users, creators, and businesses.
The new Facebook Plus and Instagram Plus plans are priced at $3.99 per month each. WhatsApp Plus will cost $2.99 per month. Meta said these subscriptions will work alongside the existing Meta Verified service and will not replace it.
Facebook Plus and Instagram Plus subscribers will receive several new Story-related tools. These include advanced Story insights such as rewatch counts and the ability to create unlimited audience lists beyond the current Close Friends feature.
Subscribers will also be able to extend Stories beyond the standard 24-hour limit. Other additions include Story previews before posting and a search option for Story viewer lists.
Meta is also adding profile and app customisation features. Users can post directly to their profile without showing the post in followers’ feeds. They will also get Super Heart animated Story reactions, custom app icons, custom fonts for profile bios, and support for more profile pins.
For WhatsApp users, the WhatsApp Plus plan will offer custom ringtones, extra app themes, and support for more pinned chats. Subscribers will also get additional sticker packs and expanded list customisation options.
Meta said more subscription plans focused on Meta AI users, creators, and businesses will launch in the coming months.
The rollout marks Meta’s latest effort to expand paid features across its social media and messaging platforms while continuing to offer free access to core services.
