WhatsApp would be working on a new business application
New rumors point to the creation of a new messaging application by WhatsApp It would be a version for the business world or to carry business accounts on the same mobile. At the moment these are only assumptions, but several clues have already been found that refer to the concept “business” (business in English) within theapplication itself WhatsApp for Android WhatsApp Business (name not confirmed) would be available for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone, according to rumor sources.
The rumor comes from WABetaInfo who is in charge of scrutinizing the code of the beta or test versions of WhatsApp for all platforms. As he explains through one of his profiles, he has found references to the term BIZ (Business Internet Zone or internet business zone in Spanish) in the Spanish version WhatsApp beta for the Android platform. In addition, in the translation service of WhatsApp there is a hidden section that mentions the business section, although it cannot be accessed at the moment.
With these clues in hand, the source of the rumor claims that WhatsApp could be working on a business version of the application, separate from the WhatsApp application that we all know. The idea would be to be able to enter a user account BIZ to be able to access a set of messaging tools designed to contact users/customers.Something that is already being carried out in a much more rudimentary way through WhatsApp
Apparently, the current beta or test version of WhatsApp for Android would detect if a is being used BIZ or business-related account to supposedly redirect the user to Google Play to download the version corresponding application, WhatsApp Business Of course, at the moment they are conjectures without the possibility of confirmation. For WABetaInfo, this movement would make sense, since it would finally allow two WhatsApp accounts to be active on the same mobile without problems: one for the personal sphere, and another for the business. In addition, having a new version or independent application would offer to keep original WhatsApp, without loading it with tools that most users would not use.A simple application that avoids high technical requirements. For their part, businesses would have a tool focused on offering direct communication with their customers.
For the time being, WABetaInfo insists that these are purely rumors guided by the different tests in reference to the terms BIZ and Business found both on the translations website as well as in the beta version of the application for the Android platform. However, he is not afraid to predict that the WhatsApp Business tool would already be in development for all current platforms on which WhatsApp is already present.
If so, WhatsApp would solve some of the current problems of the application, finally allowing businesses to create their own communication channels without using the application and the personal account of those who run the establishment.We will have to wait to see if WhatsApp confirms this information.
