About the official WhatsApp Business account

WhatsApp Business has an official chat account, where you can hear directly from us. We’ll use this conversation to share news, tips, and information that will help you make the most of the WhatsApp Business app.
Note:
  • It's not possible to make calls or send messages to WhatsApp in this chat.
  • This feature may not be available in your area yet.

How to identify the official WhatsApp account

WhatsApp Business has one official account.
  • The official WhatsApp Business chat is marked with the verified badge
    and has the description "Official WhatsApp Business account".
  • If you receive a chat from WhatsApp Business' official chat you'll see this system message: "This is an official WhatsApp Business account. Tap to learn more."
  • You don’t have the ability to message this chat and won’t be asked to share any personal information.
If you receive a message from an account without the verified badge
claiming to be WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, it's a scam. You should never reply to anyone pretending to be WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business. Please report and block the number.
