WhatsApp could let you show your verification badge on your channels

Right now, Meta is working on bringing WhatsApp to Meta Verified. The company has been testing several changes in the app that point to this. According to a new report, WhatsApp will eventually let you add your verification badge to your new channels.

If you don’t know what Meta Verified is, here’s a quick rundown. Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. All three of these platforms have their own set of features and perks. However, if you want to unlock additional perks, you can get a Meta Verified subscription. This adds additional perks to these platforms like a verified badge confirming your authenticity, a boost in the algorithm, and more.

WhatsApp could let you add your verified badge to your new channels

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that WhatsApp wasn’t initially offered with Meta-verified, as it has a premium business subscription tier. However, back in September, Meta announced that it was working on bringing WhatsApp over. The company is currently testing this capability. When WhatsApp does eventually land on Meta Verified, it will only be for business accounts. So, personal accounts will not be verified.

While WhatsApp is not currently part of the verified crew, the company will eventually let you show your verification status in your channels. You can’t imagine, this only applies to channels created by business accounts.

As spotted in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, WhatsApp will let you show your verification badge on your channels. Since this is a leak from a beta version of the app, you may want to take this news with a grain of salt. There’s no telling if WhatsApp will introduce this feature.

Being able to show your verification status for your channels is a great feature because, if you are following a business accounts Channel, you will want to trust that the business is legitimate. Well, a verification badge is a way of showing legitimacy. Verified accounts are much more trusted than unverified accounts.

At this point, we don’t know when Meta will roll this feature out, but we imagine that it will launch when WhatsApp officially lands on Meta Verified. So, we will just have to wait and see
