How will WhatsApp for Business work?
The company further explained how to identify verified Business accounts from unverified ones. As per the company, a verified account has a green checkmark badge in its profile and business accounts with a green badge are verified as an authentic brand. “A verified account has a green checkmark badge in its profile. A business account with a gray question mark badge in its profile means the account is using the WhatsApp Business app but hasn’t been confirmed nor verified by WhatsApp,” the company said. Moreover, the app has other interesting features as well including auto responses, blocking non-verified accounts, chat migration, and analytics.
