Mark Zuckerberg He was responsible -a few weeks ago- for announcing the news about the messaging service during the first WhatsApp Business Summit in Brazil. The CEO shares an update on what they are developing to help people find businesses, send them messages, and make purchases from WhatsApp.

“People always tell us they want an easy way to not only find businesses, but also contact them via WhatsApp for fast help without having to look up phone numbers, email support addresses, or navigate complicated websites,” explains Mark Zuckerberg.

He added: “While many businesses already promote their own WhatsApp number on packaging materials, store signs and websites, we are often asked for better ways to help more people learn about the channel.”

We launched a possibility find businesses directly on WhatsAppso people can search for businesses by category – like travel or bank – or search by business name.

As the company disclosed, the enhancements to the payment functionality will prevent users from searching for a phone number on the company’s website or typing in a number in their contacts. For this, WhatsApp started doing trials in Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia and the UK.
