San Francisco: Meta has announced that its messaging platform WhatsApp is launching a yellow pages-style business directory in five countries.
The feature will roll out across Brazil, the UK, Indonesia, Mexico and Colombia, reports The Verge.
According to the company, the new feature will help users to either search directly to find companies that are contactable on the service or browse by business types such as travel or banking.
All the users who signed up for WhatsApps Business Platform across the five countries will display in the directory.
