The Meta company recently released a new version of the WhatsApp application, which includes a host of updates - but it is intended to be marketed for a fixed monthly fee.

The launch is planned for the coming months, while the company's teams are currently examining the reactions of users of the experimental version and their user experience.

The new version has useful updates and design updates for the user experience.

In this version, users will be able to 'pin' up to 20 conversations at the top of the page - instead of 3 in the existing version, users will be able to change the 'theme' such as background and colors, logo design and ringtones.

The new version will also add the ability to filter and organize call lists and, of course, 'stickers' that will not be available in the regular version.

Using the new version involves a fee of 2.99 euros in Europe, and in the United States, the price has currently been set at $2.49.

The old version will continue to be free.
