How to create a verified channel on the WhatsApp Business app

Android
iOS
Once you’ve subscribed to Meta Verified for Business on WhatsApp and your account has been verified, you can create a verified channel or verify one of your existing channels.

Create a new verified channel

If you don’t already have a channel on WhatsApp Business, you’ll need to create one before you can add the verified badge.
  1. Tap Tools > Meta Verified > Verified channel.
  2. Tap Get started > Continue.
  3. Enter your Channel description.
  4. Tap Create verified channel. This will create a new channel with your verified business name and profile picture.
Note: The business name which has been verified will always be the prefix of any channel name. It is currently not possible to remove it, even in the case of multiple channels.

Add a verification badge to a channel

If you have an existing WhatsApp channel, you can add a verified badge. Currently, you can verify up to 10 channels per Meta Verified account, depending on the subscription plan.
  1. Open your channel. Then, tap your channel name.
  2. Tap Add a verified badge.
  3. Select the verified business account you'd like to connect to your channel. The Channel name and picture will change to match your verified details.
  4. Tap Confirm changes.
Your channel should now show the verified badge. If it doesn’t appear immediately, you may need to restart WhatsApp Business to see the update.

Remove the verified badge from your channel

You can remove the verified badge from your channel at any time. This is helpful when transferring ownership of a verified channel to another WhatsApp user.
To remove the badge:
  1. Open your channel. Then, tap your channel name.
  2. Tap Remove verified badge > Remove.
Removing the verified badge from your channel will not impact the status of your Meta Verified subscription.
Once the badge is removed from your channel, you can transfer ownership of the channel to another user. Learn how to transfer channel ownership here. Once they have ownership, they can subscribe to Meta Verified on their account and add the badge to the channel once verified.
Note: The verified badge may be removed for integrity reasons, such as channel suspension.

Verified channel isn’t searchable or visible

Although some channels are not visible in search results, you can still help promote your channel by sharing your link with others. To do this, go to your channel and tap the Channel Link button. This will give you options to share your channel with friends or copy the URL from the list.
Please note that having a verification badge does not guarantee your channel will appear in search results. Keep an eye on our Help Center, blog and social feeds for the latest information.
