WhatsApp launches Yellow Pages-like business directory

WhatsApp is rolling out a business directory feature that lets users browse and search for companies without leaving the app.

The official launch follows a pilot of the feature run in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 2021. It is now officially rolling out to users in Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia, the UK, and the rest of Brazil.

Clever, good alternative to Google Maps. I hope to see it launch here too, it will help small businesses tremendously. There is a risk, shady people will comb through these directories, but that is how it is with all things in society.
