After years of waiting and limited trials, businesses finally have their own\u00a0WhatsApp messaging solution. The company yesterday launched\u00a0WhatsApp Business, available on\u00a0Android\u00a0devices<\/a> as a\u00a0free download<\/a>. As the name suggests, this version of Whatsapp will be suitable for large or small businesses around the globe.<\/p>\n

The app provides some of the basic functionality you\u2019d want from a business app. You can create a Business profile with additional information like a description, address, and contact information, and enable quick replies for answers to common questions. You can create greeting messages and view some simple analytics so you can see which messages are most effective.<\/p>\n

According to a WhatsApp spokesperson, the current feature set will remain free in the long term, but WhatsApp plans on charging for additional capabilities in the future. Basically, it\u2019ll eventually take on a freemium model, but at least the company doesn\u2019t plan on taking away any existing features, and you are getting a fair bit of functionality to start.<\/p>\n

\"sandra<\/p>\n

The app is already up and running from the\u00a0Google Play Store<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. The rest of the world will be able to access the app \u201cin the coming weeks.\u201d For more on WhatsApp business, check out the web hub\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
