About WhatsApp
WhatsApp Business is turning Marketing Messages into a full creative-optimization engine.
WhatsApp Business Platform's recent activity is concentrated on the Marketing Messages and MM Lite APIs. Automatic Creative Optimization (ACO) gained several new types — auto promotion tag, product extensions, text formatting, and image background generation — alongside a new endpoint and the 100% rollout of the product_policy field. On the governance side, ACO is now disabled by default at the Business Account level, putting opt-in choice in the merchant's hands. Embedded Signup added new Coexistence countries and webhooks; Cloud API added a new error code (131064) and PARTNER_REMOVED webhook context.
