The green tick grants your brand special recognition on WhatsApp by displaying your Display Name alongside a small green checkmark, instead of showing your phone number.
Here are the five essential requirements you must meet before obtaining a green tick:
1. Your WhatsApp API must be set up with your own phone number.
2. Meta business account verified.
3. Display name approved.
4. Two-step verification must be enabled for your phone number under Phone Numbers > Settings > Two-step Verification tab.
5. Media presence with at least 3 pieces of organic content like PR articles, blog post on major publications, covered by news/media outlets etc. Paid PR articles do not count.
Once you have these things in place, you can apply for green tick verification directly on your WhatsApp Manager.
Note: Green tick verification is granted only to brands with a certain level of popularity and media presence, such as mentions on well-known news or blog websites. If your brand is well-recognized, obtaining the green tick is easier. However, if it lacks recognition, approval is unlikely in most cases.
