WhatsApp Business enables you to have a business presence on WhatsApp, communicate more efficiently with your customers, and help you grow your business. If you have separate business and personal phone numbers, you can have both WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger installed on the same phone, and register them with different numbers. In addition to the features available in WhatsApp Messenger, WhatsApp Business includes: • BUSINESS PROFILE: Create a profile for your business to help your customers find valuable information — like your website, location, or contact information. • BUSINESS MESSAGING TOOLS: Be more responsive to your customers by using Away messages to indicate that you're away. • LANDLINE/FIXED NUMBER SUPPORT: You can use WhatsApp Business with a landline (or fixed) phone number and your customers can message you on that number. During verification, select the “Call me” option to receive the code over a phone call. • RUN BOTH WHATSAPP MESSENGER AND WHATSAPP BUSINESS: You can use both WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger on the same phone, but each app must have its own unique phone number. • WHATSAPP WEB: You can more efficiently respond to your customers right from your computer's browser. WhatsApp Business is built on top of WhatsApp Messenger and includes all the features that you rely on, such as the ability to send multimedia, free calls*, free international messaging*, group chat, offline messages, and much more. *Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details. Note: once you restore your chat backup from WhatsApp Messenger to WhatsApp Business, you will no longer be able to restore it back to WhatsApp Messenger. If you would like to go back, we recommend that you copy the WhatsApp Messenger backup on your phone to your computer before you start using WhatsApp Business. --------------------------------------------------------- We're always excited to hear from you!

Reviews From google play store
There are two bugs with this app, one with voice call and another one is with video call. Voice call : most of times there is no ringtone while an incoming call, only vibration is there. Video Call : Ringtone issue (same as Voice Call). Another - it get hags while answering any video call and shows black screen only. Another - Doesnt directly forward the voice to Bluetooth Headphone.
the functions available in WA Business is more complete than original WA. but, I often experience that incoming call doesn't sounds a ringtone. Second, some messages are not real time. i mean, there was no notification. but when I open the apps, all the messages are running in. hope you could fix the bugs. thank you
It was good earlier but now i am facing some serious issue like only getting the msg while opening the app. The msg indication not comining on icon or notification bar. Whatsapp web only connecting while my phone whatsapp screen is on. Whats the use then? Kindly fix this asap as its a good app with some issues which needs to be fixed asap..
Good that whats app want to provide servicebto business users. One suggetion which will help us to organize contacts is by quick search by lables. Add label colors on main screen instead going to options and selecting labels. This way we can find contact quickly.
It hangs. It doesn't work on background. I like the other features. The quick replies and all. But it is slow on my inifinix 6x. Or do i need to use an iphone before it works well? And it's whatsapp business, more traffic should have been expected.
Please fix the issue where all the notifications pop up way too late or don't pop up at all. I have to go online and check my messages manually every few minutes.
Really moody! Sometimes it would just tell you that your number is connected to another phone and suddenly be banned and all your data would be lost! 👎🏻 You should pay for the Loss I got from this irresponsibility
My whatsapp suddenly stopped and I kept trying sign in but it sent me a message said my number has been banned .. And all my messages has gone.. I want it back it has all my business.. And I've already sent a message to the support team.. Please solve the problem
Very good but not very creative , This app are very secure and this is ours need in Iran , other systems is not secure and they try to know personally secretes , I don't like to use Iran telecommunication systems , I have to say thanks sincerely but we need more I am a Graphic designer and I need to promote and try to find customers and sing some contracts and send my designs to them but they can't send my designs price for me. If this app can do this or save my money I can trust to WhataApp
In my humble opinion it would be great if WhatsApp business could incorporate a feature where we can send group message to all our customers or atleast 30 people at once instead of 5 as is possible in the current feature.
App never backup correctly. Always says waiting for wifi even though wifi is connected. Have to click back up via WiFi again for it to start.
The app doesn't support the Dual Messenger feature and I can't open the app in Samsung Max Power Saving mode, while the regular WhatsApp version can. I'm using Samsung J7 2016. Please update this feature on the next update.
I can't broadcast to a label. It returns error message "Couldn't create broadcast list because you have no contacts labelled". But I do have contacts labelled😐
Awesome but need more add feature in WA Group : • Admin can control or delete inappropriate message / photo / video from participant in room WA Group ( WA private or business ) • Need more maximum participant limit from 257 participant make it till 500 or 1000 participant each WA Group Hope next future WA app will the best app chat private or business and video call in the world. Need follow up asap and thank you for attention...! GODBLESS YOU
I assumed you'd beable to use this to split up your personal and business messages, but you can't use the same phone number on both. So its useless.
I don't know why? But it's sad and very sad that WhatsApp Banned my number. This is my only number I have been using for years now. It's also my business number and that is also a reason that I installed the business WhatsApp. I haven't violated any rules or regulations, I believe. I have been whatspp using for years from the time it was launched and I never had such an issue. It's a humble request to look into the issue and fix the same. I want the number active again.
All futures are good... But now a days the problem is every one is using local language in chats etc.. as we may not know that particular language we unable to read same. please provide auto translation facility too.. then 5 🌟!!
Sometimes the message don't get sent or delivered and remains in waiting in our chat box. Though the opposite person can read and reply but it is still not sent from our chatbox.
A very good app easy to use.. BUT there is a little bit problem with this app that the app suddenly stopped and some time doesn't work please fix this bug ovel all it is a good app... THANK you
Have installed app was about to set up account. But cant use the same phone number for this and normal whatsapp. I use the same phone number for my customers and for personal use.
This version has a bug on the video call. Keeps prompting "cannot open camera...if the problem persist restart the phone."
Can you please make it possible to gather labels chat in folders ? Like Paid, Orders and more in each specific folder. In the way it could be easier to interact with specifics ones.
So I thought it was the phone..so i upgraded to a new phone...and the below is still an issue...pls guys help!!!Quick replies working now..but now I'm struggling with messaging to a label group. I go to the label group then to message group but then I get the following message: couldn't create a broadcast list because you have no contacts labeled....but I have already labeled all contacts! This is do frustrating as WhatsApp business is useless to me without being able to send broadcast messages!!
1st u fix photo downloading, if a picture is 20 days old and was not downloaded, after 20 days why I'm not able to download it....its really frustrated for kindly fix this issue
I upgraded to the business version but the app keeps shutting down after completing the business profile details. I can't use it.
The only problem with this app is after deleting a text, both side will receive a text is deleted and this is the only but the biggest problem!
It's a good app but sometimes I have Internet and not receive messages on time. I think being able to read the recent call log as many clients may not be present in my phone book. It should be in a sub menu across from calls. Should take some taught. Thanks much for a great app
All fine except 2 things- First, i can't set wallpaper for individual chat. That's the only update most people are looking for ! Second, it compresses sent images too much that even many images start looking patchy and pixelated. i want such an option which allows me to set if i want to send raw images or compressed.
I started using the WhatsApp business app couple of months ago for my business everything seemed fine until one day I tried opening the app, and got a notification that my number was logged in another device and that I should verify when I clicked to verify boom!! I got banned for absolutely no reason. Please fix this I need my account back, I'm trying to grow a brand and this is a major setback
I am unable to see notifications or pop up on business what's App icon just like normal what's app. Therefore I can see messages only when I goes online into app. It's so bad to any business
It's a worst app I ever seen. My Friend got banned in WhatsApp Business without any prior warning or notice. My Friend was using WhatsApp Business Account for his online business. Suddenly he got message that his number is banned from using WhatsApp and No Support provided to him. He lost all of his Customers data and there faith. I really regret for my advice to use WhatsApp Business Account for his Online Business. I suggest to all my comment viewers not to use WhatsApp for there business.
Whatsapp Team I am requesting you to fix the problem in web version as I am facing login issues in Whatsapp Web Login in Whatsapp Business app. I am facing the problem for recent 25 days.
Why this notis?? "couldn't create a broadcast list because you have no contacts labeled" but my lebeled contact is already created??please help me
Broadcast messages should also be delivered to the person who has not saved the number. Verification of business account can be done to stop spam.
There's a lot to be done here, very limited features. Needs to introduce more features for better customer experience
This App is useless for any business that has a domain name and email address like .co or .international lt says our domain name is invalid and our email address is invalid when it 100% isn't.
It will be great if also there's an option to be incognito while the only person you chatting to can see you online, like a switch of some sort. Because in most cases when one is online the rest of the contacts can see you online, so what if there's an option that one can choose whom they want to be seen by when online.
With the new update we are unable to message customers though labels. It says "Couldn't create broadcast list because you have no contacts labeled" However all contacts are labelled and it was working fine till we updated the latest version yest. Kindly respond. It's very urgent. We are losing communication and updates with our customers. Thx.
Thanks for developing such a useful app, .. I use this app for my business , But the broadcast in the app allows to send only 25 -30 images in the first attempt, there after no images are uploaded through broadcast. After waiting for 15-20 minutes in the next attempt only 2-3 images can be sent ,rest are not , Has wahtsapp been so developed that more images cant be uploaded through broadcast or is there any fault in the app....please help.
The application respon is so slow. Chats are pending. Updating status pending. Pls fix it. Thanks
Couldn't send audio notes. It gets into the bin after hitting the send icon.
don't work can't get past the first stage of entering my details keeps saying connection issues when my internet is fine so I had to uninstall
It crashed many times whenever i open a chat. The screen go black. Pls fix it
In the previous version, I able to send broadcast message to customers with the same label. However today I find difficulty. The application gives messages: "Couldn't vreate a broadcast list because you have no contacts labeled." Please help me. Is it just me? Or is it a bug?
Just a few upgrade than the normal WhatsApp. A new business with a new number doesn't benefit from this app, especially using a broadcast list for advertisements. This app could be the best advertising tool for new businesses using existing contacts from phone. *Note: Only contacts who have added you to their phone's address book will receive your broadcast message.* This should be reversed to allow all contacts recieved messages from new unkowned business contacts. I'll rate it 5 star if done
I am having very frustrating and embarrassing experience with WhatsApp business as I am using it to communicate with my customers but now suddenly it says that I am banned from using WhatsApp without any reason neither they are responding on mail not there is any e way to resolve this so so very very embarrassing situation for any business to not be able to connect with their customers I am request WhatsApp developers to shut it off and don't break the trust of their users
It will be great if also there's an option to be incognito while the only person you chatting to can see you online, like a switch of some sort. Because in most cases when one is online the rest of the contacts can see you online, so what if there's an option that one can choose whom they want to be...
This app is cool but could be better if you seprated the away message and greeting message into different automatic messages. one for a first time contact customers and another for old customers we have had conversations with on whatsapp business. For example a new customer chats me up, the message that whatsapp business automatically answers with can be set to be different from what it automatically replies an old customer with that we have had conversations on whatsapp business. Thanks.
Group Alias Feature, In order to be able to see the better group sorting in our phone, seems the group alias feature is needed. This feature doesn't need to effect to the original group name that created by admin/someone. By having group alias feature, I believe we can see the group name based on the group alias that we setup and it will be sorting better as well as manage/maintain easier.
There should be a timer for status up. So no one have to be awake till a certain time before he or she posts. The timer is set and once it's time it posts itself.
For some reason the App doesnt allow me to create new broadcast list from labels, even though I have labelled every contact. This feature was working fine until yesterday. There are many other features that can be made business-friendly, the App certainly doesn't live up to its name.
features are great but it would be amazing if maybe you could add a feature that schedules messages to a group or specific members for example by their tag colour etc. at least have an option that comes integrated within the app and not have to jailbreak or root your phone in order to have a third party app do it for you. implement that and I'll give a 5 star.
Excellent but my new number just activated. I just activate whatsup business application and sent my business offers intimations only 10 members.suddenly my number is bannd. I m so unhappy ,un satisfaction, about this. I m using only whatsup business app
Their is one problem in the application at the time of listening voice message their is a background voice of ringtone. Apart of this what's app business is best app to use and I am sure what's app team can solve this problem with update, reason behind 1 star is what's app team should see the problem as voice messages is very important but we are unable to here message due to background ringtone voice which is pretty high.
Whatsapp should introduce a way to limit group addition. Not just receiving a text that I've been added to a group that I have no interest being a member... Introduce a courteous way of sending a request or i should have my approval not just joining, and you know it's difficult to exit some of these group for they have been created by family members, please check on it
Highly disappointing app support. Request everyone not to use it for business purpose. I had been using it for recieving business communication only. In last more than 1 year, i have hardly send more than 20 messages from it. Still it was banned one fine day and the standard reply from WhatsApp is that the recieved myltiple complaints against me. They have no reaolution mechanism, norr do they verify or explain any issue. They will just breach the trust you put in this app one day.
Hello, I am having a problem with sending WhatsApp status since last two days. I have both the regular and business on the same andriod, once the regular functions normally but the business stops completely from showing status. am receiving all messages normally in business WhatsApp. Then the business whatsapp stops showing some contact status and same contact status showing in WhatsApp messanger. I am going insane because it is a critical work time for me. Please help me ...
Unable to create broadcast lists and send measeges for Labels. Uninstalled and Reinstalled but the problem still persists.
I just heard about WhatsApp business app and tried to install after few days my app is not working its showing banned . Many times i tried to mail whtsapp support but till now not getting any reply and til now my whtsapp is not working totally feeling annoyed
1) Requesting for a ne update:- Here is only three columns in WhatsApp Wall, which are:- Chat Column, Status Column, and Call Column. But- requesting you to add a more separate column, which is "Group Column". Revealing that facility we shall not have to Search ( or seek )any particular group in "chat column" . But we will get our all groups in a separate single column. That will be very nice for WhatsApp. (2) Second Request is- to add a bottom or option to make the chat windows "Full Screen"
What's going on, I can't view my whatsapp anymore, please fix this problem, please do something as quick as possible
When you put several stories the application crashes. We can only receive the messages and not send.
It's very bad app Two time my two was banned without any notice I lost my all customer data I send emails they reply is not help full They can't gave me any issues
The app is very useful one but I don't know what happened my number got banned all of a sudden and I've reported the issue and nothing as been done about it and it's so painful on how I'll lose my customers just like that I feel you need to improve and don't just ban people's number like that
Couldn't upload status from last 10 days ... Facing problem to send messages.
Its stuck during call and take time to respond ...late response..and many times its sounds up after making silent
everything is nice but we can't set our own message ringtone in this application. & This app is not supported in Background, if we open this app at a time every messages will appear, till that no messages notification will appear . so of fix it & make this app same as normal what's app. Thanks in advance
I m facing voice message sending problem I recorded 7 sec msg and it's sender only 1sec so kindly solve this problem
That is better now and can be much more better.some items don"t work like short cuts....
The experience has been great. But could we have the option of 'liking' someone's message in a group chat...to avoid another 50 messages saying "Yes! I agree". Just a simple double tap to like a text will make lives easier!!
Same Whatsapp again with double storage used. Why whatsapp did not active same WhatsApp with dual account support? Something like Telegram app.
getting problem while broadcasting any message... it is not reaching the receivers end
Im very upset due to two way varification pin and code,while i recived sms but not emial so that i can restart my whstapp business as soon as possible after reset my device. I totally felf irritatation after 4 days,there is no communction from whstapp side.

The app is ok but it's just that I can not share messages and videos to more than 20 friends
I am using this app for more than 3 Months. Still my Business Name "Careeeplannerlic" is not visible to my contacts and customers. Very Disappointed. I was very excited after knowing Whatsapp Business Account features. Please do the needful. I am ready to submit all required documents for verification. Please get my Business Account Verified.
It's good. But, please provide an "option" which can enable or disable the recipient to forward the messages or visuals any further. Such "option" can help us to prevent the recipient to forward any further.
Very nice some time we have some areas problem but mostly the app and appcation is high quality thanks to all team
It use to be good until the last update , It's getting very slow .. Kindly fix it
Plz add dark mode in WhatsApp. I used to chat latenight and even after turning on night mode in my cellphone.The impact could be felt in the eyes. Everything would be fine and perfect if dark mode is provided. Thanks......
I m using apps since last 1 year and more than 15times I have uninstalled and reinstalled because my messages not sending. Incoming message is ok. But I am unable to reply anyone. After all its business apps and really negative effects on our clients when you are online but not replying them
Whatsapp businesses sucks delaying txts and i am unable to communicate with othr. It take take an hour to send just a single txt. Just a single. While on the other hand simple whatsapp is perfect. Is your developers are unable to resolve the issue i sent many mails too. But still faceing this issue. Disgusting!
nice but at a time 5 massages only going on .unlimited needs to sent. each and every app needs to link Adaar number safe for all avoiding fraud. how fraud will happening without concern people support no one can do fraud.Adaar link has to be given each and every software with entry exits.in google support somany people doing fraud.needs to keep one software without adaar number canot able to register any link any support.please do the needful.
Please increase Number of Forward Of chat messages. It is very difficult to send one message to Many customers. As all customers do not save my contact in their phone so i am unable to share messages on Broadcast so i have to send it personally. So please increase that number so we can share a message to multiple contacts Fast
My personal US number this app says: Is not a valid mobile number for the country United States.
after the update, i cannot make broadcast list by labels. it says that i dont have any contacts labeled (the fact is i have 87 contacts labeled and i used to broadcast every week by labels>message customers). please fix it, otherwise im not going to change my star.
Great experience and also it more secure from WhatsApp, it help me encourage the development and business
My whatsapp is nt wrking properly. It's been 1 1/2 hr.my frds couldn't receive my msgs. frequently It's popping up that whatsapp isn't responding.if I reinstalled the app I'm loosing important data of my business. Plz slove my issue
It's Nice but it will be awesome to have the message pop up itself. Messages doesn't pop up themselves unless the app is open and the moment you close the app, you don't get to know what's going on.
i have framed a whatsapp broadcast group but have received many complaints from the members that they do not receive messages , even though i send on a regular basis. Whereas , if i send the same msg individually to the same person. ,they receive it instantly. so plz tell me what's the matter ? why is this happening?
Awesome....updates i want to suggest 1.contacts list should be display according to lable once we select lable to display so we can post some update masage to that perticular catagory people. 2.when we search for or forward msg to people its displaying their status below contact name in list...there should be a last msg sent seen instead of status aspecillaly in business whats app. So one can recognize petson easily no need to remember name or Dp. Thank you.
Very poor... come up with a version that's business oriented and friendly better you charge more. The current one is time consuming and tedious. You can't forward to many people at ago. When you came to market, your application was super
Upgrade annoying, i havent been able to access my whatzapp for months now, after the useless upgrade.
Not working properly, message are not delivered, status update are not happening
After 30 day's will cost you to upgrade again 30MB but is great it perform well.
Very good app. Couldn't live without it, it's that easy .
Just started and I love it...it gives my business a breath of fresh air!
Great Application. BUT Group Admin cannot Delete any members post. Please FIX this .
App doesn't update status always.Very slow response to network availability.
Very exciting. But need more privacy options.
