How to Get the Official WhatsApp Green Tick Verification
By 5MinutesAPI Support•
What is the WhatsApp Green Tick?
The Green Tick, officially known as the Official Business Account (OBA) status, indicates that WhatsApp has verified that an authentic, notable brand owns this account. It replaces your phone number with your brand name in the chat window, significantly boosting customer trust and message open rates.Who is Eligible?
Not every business gets a Green Tick. Meta reserves this for "notable" businesses. This generally means your brand has a strong online presence and organic press coverage (news articles, magazines) not paid advertisements.
