WhatsApp Business app which is free to download, is a standalone mobile app built with the small business owner in mind. With the app, businesses can interact with customers easily by using tools to automate, sort, and quickly respond to messages.
If you have separate business and personal phone numbers, you can now use two whatsapp apps on your smartphone. All you have to do, is to install WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp for Business app on the same phone, and register them with different numbers.
