WhatsApp Will Introduce New Features For Corporate Directories
Facebook and its sister social media platforms offer their members a variety of ways to grow their business online. Now WhatsApp is trying to do well in the industry to give its users the best experience possible as it is about to introduce a new feature that will allow users to search for nearby businesses.
Previously, WhatsApp introduced a new chat link for the “quick replies” function. In order to provide customers with similar new functions, new capabilities for the messaging application are being developed.
WhatsApp added a new business directory feature six months ago – a new way to quickly find new business accounts on WhatsApp without leaving the app. This feature will soon be available to users as it is already available to some users in Sao Paulo.
WhatsApp is working on another tool to help its large customer base: a search filter interface that will make it easy for users to search for nearby businesses.

When you search for something on WhatsApp, the social app will show you many categories like photos, videos, links, GIFs, audio and documents. Look at the above picture. In addition to the categories listed above, a new category called “Nearby Shops” will now appear. If you select this category, all of the business accounts in your region will appear on your screen.
Android and iOS users can use this feature. The platform has not set a start date.
