Whatsapp has launched a verified business accounts scheme in the latest attempt to monetise the Facebook-owned messaging service. In addition, it states that if a user has already included a business' details in their address book, it will appear under the given name within WhatsApp, otherwise the commercial entity will be identified by a name it has chosen for itself. The new feature allows businesses and individuals with Facebook pages or profiles to create an account that will allow them access to their profile information on WhatsApp. Analysis also suggests that the programme will let participants set their business hours and automate responses.
