Let us introduce you to the beta version of our new product with its new interface and new features.
In order to maximize effectiveness and usability, it’s important to get maximum input from you, our users, to pinpoint as many potential issues as possible. And here’s what awaits our beta testers:
- A single Kaspersky app with varying sets of features depending on the selected subscription plan. Plans are available for testing on Windows under the working names Basic, Standard or Plus; on Android and iOS devices the choice of plan is Standard or Plus;
- Seamless switching from one plan to another;
- Kaspersky Plus includes unlimited Kaspersky Secure Connection.
Windows:

- The UX has undergone a radical overhaul, with a side menu appearing for quick access to sections of the app;

We also changed the very concept of beta testing, with applications for all platforms being tested together:
