Getting Your Facebook Business
Manager Account Verified (Using Wavixo)

Overview

The next essential step after setting up your WhatsApp Business API is Facebook Business Manager verification.
Facebook uses this verification process to confirm that your Business Manager account belongs to a legitimate business or organization.
⚠️ Without a verified Facebook Business Manager account:
You cannot access full WhatsApp Business API features

Your messaging and broadcast limits remain restricted

The good news is that you can apply for Facebook Business Manager verification alongside your WhatsApp Business API application.
