Disney + Basic plan with advertising will do without GroupWatch and SharePlay

Oct. 25 (Portaltic/EP) –

Disney+ is working on a new cheaper subscription plan for the platform, which will initially arrive in the United States in December and will lack two of the most popular features of the platform, Group Watch Y Share Play.

Group Watch is a function that is integrated into Disney + and that allows simultaneous viewings with friends or family either from the website or from the mobile application for iOS or Android.

Share Playon the other hand, is a functionality that is only available for Apple devices (with the exception of the Mac), which is used to view content while making a call through the service Facetime.

Last August, the company announced that it would make available to subscribers a new offer of its service with ads, whose monthly price would be $7.99 (just over 8 euros at the current exchange rate), compared to $10.99 (about 11 euros) of the standard service without advertising.

As the editor of MacRumors recently warned Steve Moser In the code of the platform, which has been shared through Twitter, this new plan will dispense with GroupWatch and SharePlay, which are two of the most popular services of this streaming platform.

Since TheVerge remember that Disney still has room to change this limitation and that it may be an indication within the tests you are doing with this economic plan.

Currently Disney+ offers in Spain two types of subscription. The monthly of €8.99 per monthand the annual, of €89.90, which allows a saving of 15 percent on the total price.

At the moment it is unknown what the company’s plans are regarding the implementation of this cheaper plan with announcements beyond the borders of the United States.

It should be remembered that a few days ago Netflix announced its new subscription plan, the most affordable to date, which for 5.49 euros allows you to watch movies and series on the condition that you show ads before, during or after playback.

In addition to the integration of advertising content, one of the main differences between this version and the basic version, which costs 7.99 euros per month, is that in the economic version you cannot download content to view it offline.
