Meet WhatsApp Business
This app is meant for business, however there’s nobody stopping you from using it though you may not a business afterall.
Take WhatsApp Business as WhatsApp plus extra good features that even you are not a business entity but they are good to use to.
With WhatsApp Business you can (sort by their importance):
1) Setup active time when you expect people to send messages to you (work-life-balance!). This feature is called Business Hours. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Business Profile > Business Hours to set it up.
2) Setup auto-reply when you are out of your active time, so they know you are away and they won’t expect you to quickly reply to their messages. This feature is called Away Message. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Away Message to set it up.
3) Setup description on who you are. People doesn’t need to go to your LinkedIn or Facebook to know you better, they can straight away know who you are from your description. This feature is called Business Description. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Business Profile > Business Description to set it up.
4) Setup address and email address. The address here doesn’t necessarily to be your physical address, but you can put your Twitter handle, Instagram handle, or anything else. You decide. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Business Profile > Address and Email Address to set both up.
5) Setup Quick Replies. Instead of writing the full sentence, you can just write a shortcut. Say, rather than typing “thank you very much”, with Quick Replies, you can just type “/tyvm” then it will return you the full sentence. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Quick Reply to set it up.
6) Categorize message. This feature is pretty similar to Starred Messages you found on normal WhatsApp app, however instead of just one single category, you can create custom categories then put any messages on any categories you made (Eg: important message, task from Boss, to follow up). This feature is called Labels. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Labels to set it up.
7) Setup auto-greet. You can set a greeting message to people who haven’t contacted you for the past 14 days. This feature is called Greeting Message. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Greeting Message to set it up.
8) Setup Catalog. If you have something to show off (Eg: a YouTube video, a facebook or blog post, an item to sell), you can share it via catalog. Go to Settings > Business Settings > Catalog to set it up.
Those features are on top of all WhatsApp features you are getting from a normal WhatsApp app, so you won’t lose anything here.
