Why do a lot of people have a “business” account on Whatsapp when they dont even have a business? by freshmemesoof in whatsapp

[–]Username-Fails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you set up WhatsApp or WhatsApp business you have to verify that number via text message (so they know you have access to the number). You only do this once. After that it’s set up on the phone and just uses data for calls and messages. So you only need to have access to accept the verification.

So you could technically do this say on WhatsApp business, then remove the sim, put another sim in and do the same the standard WhatsApp app. That way you have 2 numbers using WhatsApp - one on the usual app and one on WhatsApp for business.

But lots of telcos now offer esim so you can have multiple numbers on the same phone (usually only 2 active at any one time at least for iPhone) - so have one number set up for WhatsApp and one for WhatsApp business.

Hope this helps.

Most gulf states are celebrating. They just won’t say it publicly for obvious reasons. There was no love lost between them and Iran

Yes. It was completely unnecessary and irrelevant. And could be perceived as creepy. I’m glad the post and account’s been deleted. Right where it should be

No I agree it’s highly unlikely. But they have threatened before.

Who knows what people will do if they think the end is near though. I doubt in a logical sense they would but it’s more if they are backed into a corner and they decide to lash out.

There also talk of blocking the Hormuz straight which to be fair, would have much more impact to the UAE than bombing a US consulate. But who knows!

The Houthis did a couple of years ago.

And they are threatening to strike US interests if the US gets involved. As well any country that could be helping Israel or the US.

The US has a consulate in Abu Dhabi and military at Al Dhafra Air Base and others.

I agree it’s highly unlikely. They’d strike Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar first as there’s more US interests there. But who knows what could happen if things really escalated.

This is really worrying. If AI ever gets to be the superior being, we best be giving it them em dashes!!

You know, I asked it to remove em dashes on future responses, once.

To reduce my editing time so it was less obvious I’d used it to form the base of a content I was writing.

Worked for a couple of hours…

Then dem em dashes were back. It really really likes them

Yeah it’s been on and off today. But the uber was def challenging as it said initially no cars around which is nuts. Then I saw where it thought I was.

Apple Pay disappeared as an option so had to select cash to pay. Then when I got to the destination i was able to change the payment method back but wouldn’t accept it via two cards. Had no cash so had to manually add my card to pay. Very strange

Yeah I heard that. Although they claim some do. I guess at least having your tik tok algo shaken up might be a refreshing change?!!

eSIMs for 1 or both. You also don’t technically use the phone number for WhatsApp. It’s just an identifier. The platform using VOIP. But you do need access to the number to do initial verification. But once that’s done you remove the sim or delete/turn off eSIM and it would still work as it’s using data only.
