What is WhatsApp Business Manager?

The Meta Business settings area where WhatsApp accounts, numbers, and assets are managed.

WhatsApp Business Manager refers to the section of Meta Business Suite and Business Settings where a company manages its WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), phone numbers, display names, message templates, and access permissions. It is the administrative hub that ties WhatsApp into the broader Meta business ecosystem.

From here, businesses and their providers handle business verification, assign roles, monitor account quality and limits, and connect assets like ad accounts and catalogs. It is distinct from the messaging itself, which happens through the API or a provider's tools.

Proper organization in Business Manager is important for security, access control, and keeping verification and assets in order.
