Show all 12
WhatsApp has rolled out a new update for the beta version of Business, which suggests the app is stable and almost ready for an official release, according to WABetaInfo.
The update introduces a new feature called Labels, which makes it easier for companies to stay on top of orders and processes, and categorise their customers.
The available options are Prospect, New Order, Pending Payment, Paid and Order Complete.
However, WhatsApp Business users also have the option to create their own custom Labels.
WhatsApp Business will have a slightly different logo to the regular WhatsApp app, featuring a prominent B rather than a phone icon
When it’s ready, people will be able to place orders on WhatsApp and even receive updates from companies, like delivery confirmations and flight times, through it.
People should therefore wait until WhatsApp officially announces the release of the app before trying to get your hands on it.
