Guide to getting the Blue Check on WhatsApp Business – Step by step
Table of Contents
The way to apply for an Official Business Account (OBA) on WhatsApp Business has changed.
Now, businesses that registered their phone number through Embedded Signup can apply for verification directly from the WhatsApp Manager in their Meta Business Suite—no intermediaries needed.
In addition, Meta has updated its verification system: the traditional green tick has been replaced by a blue check, aligning with the verification style of Facebook and Instagram.
This update goes beyond just appearance—it’s part of Meta’s global strategy to unify brand identity across its ecosystem.
This process is available exclusively to businesses that registered their number through WOZTELL’s Embedded Signup.
