WhatsApp Update: WhatsApp, a popular instant messaging application, is a headline maker for testing new features. Soon after working on enhancements for video calls in the Android beta build, the company is working on allowing businesses to subscribe to its Meta Verified verification service. According to WABetaInfo, the option may be available in an upcoming build of WhatsApp.

As per the report, the option was spotted on the Android "2.24.1.21" beta version. Due to its "under development" stage, it is not rolling out to testers. In the screengrab shared in the report, the option to subscribe to "Meta Verified" is present below the "Business Profile" option of "WhatsApp Business". "Build trust with a verified badge", the description of the feature read.

The report noted that the service may replace WhatsApp Premium which ships with benefits such as custom business link and up to 10 devices support. These features will be available in Meta Verified. Subscribing to the service will be optional and limited to business users. The subscription will offer active detection and protection from impersonation for channels.
