Frequently asked questions
What does the Quality badge mean?
Meta rates how customers respond to your messages. A drop usually means too many customers are blocking or reporting you. See WhatsApp disconnected or quality dropped.
Can I connect more than one number?
Yes, if your plan allows it. See Free plan and plan limits.
Can I change my display name?
The display name needs Meta's approval, so a change may take time to show.
