That’s how we work with Business Messaging and Facebook
Every day, millions of people around the world interact with different types of businesses on WhatsApp. If you want to mess with business, we wanted to make it even simpler and better. WhatsApp never wants to make this clear when you are interacting with any business that uses these features.Facebook Hosting Services : Messaging with Businesses is different than messaging with your family members or friends. Some large businesses need to use hosting services to manage their communication. That’s why Facebook provides secure hosting services to manage WhatsApp chats with their customers, answer questions and send helpful information such as purchase vouchers.We are providing the business with the option of consumption. But, if you are communicating with Business, Phone, Email or WhatsApp, they can see what you are saying and use that information for its own marketing purposes. It may also include advertising on Facebook. To make sure you have information on this, we clearly display the conversations we have with businesses that choose to use hosting services from Facebook.
Seeking Business : Using WhatsApp You may see a Facebook ad with a button that sends a message to a business. If you have WhatsApp installed on your phone, you have the option of sending a message to that business. Facebook may use the means by which you interact with these ads to personalize the ads you see on Facebook.
