According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a paid channel feature (Channel Subscriptions) through an upcoming update. So, what should you know about it?
An opportunity to create revenue while maintaining free content for everyone
For your information, this feature allows channel creators to offer exclusive content to paid followers, and with it, they can generate revenue while maintaining free content for all followers.
Additionally, channel creators can set subscription prices through the channel information screen. Paying followers will then have access to additional content, separated by a special filter to make it easier to distinguish from free content. Additionally, the number of paid subscribers will be publicly displayed in the channel information so that everyone can see how popular a channel is.
However, this subscription is completely optional as users are free to decide whether they want to pay or just enjoy the free content. In addition, this paid content is also subject to WhatsApp's terms of service, which prohibit sharing any illegal, harmful or abusive material.
Moreover, the good news is that WhatsApp is currently improving the channel with a paid subscription system. However, the free experience is still maintained for all users. However, for now, the feature is still in the development phase and is not yet available for testing. In fact, details on the subscription price have not yet been announced.
