The latest report on the multiuser options also stated no changes are being considered to the free use of WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook.

WhatsApp states on its website that WhatsApp Business “is a free to download app that was built with the small business owner in mind.” Businesses, the company states, can “create a catalog to showcase your products and services [and] connect with your customers.” WhatsApp Business users create standardized replies to customer inquiries that arrive through the platform.
