Comparison

WhatsApp app + growing team = time to switch.

The WhatsApp Business app is a great start. Here’s how to tell you’ve outgrown it, and what changes when you move to a shared inbox.

The short answer

Stay on the app if one or two people answer and you rarely lose track. Move to a shared inbox once several people answer the same number, chats get missed, or you need to know who promised what.
