As announced in our blog, WhatsApp is exploring ways for you to connect with the businesses that matter to you.

We're currently testing new tools through a closed pilot program. If you're interested in testing our business tools, you can fill out this survey. We may reach out to you in the event we expand our testing program. Please note that this doesn't guarantee early access to the program.

If you see a green badge next to a contact's name, it means that WhatsApp has verified that the phone number of this contact belongs to a business account.

If you'd like to stop a business from contacting you, you can block them.
