WhatsApp introduces ‘Blue Tick’ for business accounts, replacing green badge – India TV

WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging platform owned by Meta, is getting ready for a major update that will change the way users use the app. With new features and a refreshed interface, one of the most noticeable changes will be the change in the color of the verification checkmark, which will change from 0green to blue.

WhatsApp to get blue check mark

The green badge that was associated with verified business accounts on WhatsApp is set to change from green to blue. The change was part of Meta’s broader strategy to unify its visual identity across all platforms — WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.

With the new change, WhatsApp business accounts will display the same blue checkmark that Instagram and Facebook users are already familiar with. The change is intended to create a consistent look and feel across all Meta platforms, making it easier for users to recognize verified businesses, regardless of the app they use.

Who will receive a Blue Tick on WhatsApp?

According to information shared by WABetaInfo, the new change in WhatsApp will initially be rolled out to iOS users and will initially be available to business account users.

This change will bring the platform into line with the verification standards in place on other Meta platforms.

This step will help businesses better build customer trust by using a consistent verification symbol across the Meta ecosystem.

New features on the way

In addition to the blue checkmark for WhatsApp Business, the platform is working on several other features that aim to improve the user experience. The platform recently integrated Meta AI, which will bring AI capabilities to WhatsApp.

This addition is said to be just the beginning of what the platform can do, as WhatsApp continues to develop video call filters that will help improve the quality of virtual interactions.

What else can you expect on the platform?

Another feature expected to arrive on the platform is the ability to share WhatsApp status updates, which will give users more flexibility in how they share content on the platform.

Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow users to send photos and files without requiring an internet connection, making file sharing even more convenient.
