However, it looks like WhatsApp Premium <strong>will be a WhatsApp Business feature only <\/strong>and so won\u2019t be available for regular users of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies using WhatsApp Business will be <strong>able to opt into a special premium plan<\/strong> that will be called WhatsApp Premium. This will give them the ability to access new advanced features. The first is a <strong>custom business link<\/strong> that will allow them to set their own unique branded URL link that will take users directly to their WhatsApp Business chat page every 90 days. The second is <strong>enhanced multi-device support<\/strong>, which will allow up to 10 users at the company to manage the WhatsApp Business account from their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The screenshot above shows what eligible businesses will see when the update rolls out to all WhatsApp Business users. However, there is <strong>still little information about how much the monthly subscription fee for WhatsApp Premium will be<\/strong> or when it will roll out. We will keep tracking the story and report on these updates when the information becomes clear.
