Why should I upgrade to the latest version of WhatsApp?
-
Access to new features:
Registration via the new WhatsApp Cloud API enables access to exclusive new WhatsApp features now and in the future. Here are a few examples that are already available via the new API version:
-
WhatsApp Icebreaker Feature
-
Faster processing of sending messages
-
Different message types (stickers, GIFs, etc.) are supported
-
-
Faster processing of sending messages:
If you try to contact a large number of contacts via the WhatsApp API (e.g. via the campaigns feature), there are often short delays. However, the new API version promises faster sending of a higher volume of WhatsApp messages (1000 messages per second)
-
Uncomplicated billing:
Billing for additional META costs is also carried out directly via META and is therefore simplified.
💡 Switching to the new version will be a pre-condition for continued use of the WhatsApp Business API from a certain point in time.
