The Away message feature will enable you to automatically send an ‘Away Message’ while you are outside are not able to reply on time. Additionally, you can also send the required away message on customised time. Alternatively, Greeting Message is sent automatically when a customer sends message for the first time or after 14 days inactivity. On the other hand, Quick message facility will enable you to send a basic designated message comprising of short sentences and some keywords.

While WhatsApp allows you to transfer your messenger account into a business account, it seemingly did not allow to do so while transferring business account into a personal one. Add to that, users can use both the personal as well as business accounts simultaneously on the same device provided that both the accounts should be linked to different mobile numbers.
