WhatsApp Business is now available on iOS

Tech news 5 April 2019

CAPE TOWN – Social media platform WhatsApp announced that it has made its WhatsApp Business available for iOS users.

What is WhatsApp Business?

WhatsApp Business is a version of the messaging app that lets small businesses connect with their customers and was first launched on Android since last year.

WhatsApp Business lets business owners set up a profile to share company details like their email or store address, and also have access to greetings and away messages to manage interactions with customers

The free app launched on iOS last month but only in a limited number of countries.

The WhatsApp Business app should not be confused with the WhatsApp Business API, a paid service designed for much larger companies.

The API allows businesses to send out notifications like boarding passes and receipts, as well as respond to customer queries.

The WhatsApp Business App is available now in Brazil, Germany, Indonesia, India, Mexico, the UK, and the US.

The company will soon make it available to the rest of the world in the coming weeks.
