Frequently Asked Questions
What are the rules for WhatsApp Business display names?
Display names must represent your business accurately, match your external branding, not be generic (e.g., 'Customer Support'), not use all uppercase, avoid unnecessary punctuation or special characters, and be between 3-512 characters. The name must relate to your verified business entity.
Can I change my display name after approval?
Yes, but each change requires re-approval from Meta, which can take 1-3 business days. Frequent name changes may trigger additional review. Plan your display name carefully before initial submission.
Why was my display name rejected?
Common rejection reasons include: the name is too generic, it does not match your business registration, it contains 'WhatsApp' or 'Meta' in the name, it uses excessive capitalization, or it includes promotional language like 'Best Deals'. Review Meta's guidelines and resubmit.
