The difference between WhatsApp Personal and WhatsApp Business
There are two kinds of WhatsApp: WhatsApp Personal and WhatsApp Business. Here is how to stay out of trouble on both.
WhatsApp Personal: terms of service
To avoid problems with WhatsApp Personal, keep this in mind:
- Unwanted messages: if someone asks you to stop messaging them, respect it and delete the contact.
- Automated or bulk messages: WhatsApp detects and bans accounts that send them. Do not create groups or accounts automatically.
- Lists of unknown contacts: do not share numbers without consent, and do not use data obtained illegally.
- Overusing broadcast lists: only message people who have your number saved. If you get reported often, you can be banned.
WhatsApp Business: terms of service
WhatsApp Business has stricter rules. These are the main ones:
- Proper use of the account: do not use WhatsApp Business for personal purposes, only for business.
- Proper conduct: no harassment, threats or any illegal behavior.
- Do not use other people’s accounts: do not impersonate anyone or use accounts without permission.
- Truthful information: do not publish false or misleading information.
- Privacy: do not collect information without authorization.
- No spam: keep your messages legal and respectful.
- Safe content: do not distribute viruses or harmful files.
- Follow the security rules: stick to the access and usage rules WhatsApp sets.
If your account is banned you will see the message "El uso de WhatsApp en tu número de teléfono está suspendido. Para recibir asistencia, contacta con Soporte Técnico" — WhatsApp shows it in the language of your phone.
In short
Follow these recommendations and respect WhatsApp’s terms and conditions so your account does not get banned. That way you can keep talking to people without trouble.
