What is WhatsApp Co-existence?
Co-existence is Meta's official solution that lets businesses use their mobile WhatsApp app and the official WhatsApp Business API at the same time on the same phone number.
This means:
- Owners and staff keep using the mobile app as they always have
- Automation, broadcasting, and CRM run through the official API via ChatDaddy
- Both work simultaneously on the same number — no conflicts
Core Benefits
1. Slash Ban Risk
Official Meta certification means your account is treated as a legitimate business. Template review ensures all broadcast messages comply with Meta's policies.
2. Mobile App as Usual
Owners and staff can continue replying via their phones. Group chats work normally. No change to daily workflows.
3. 20x Faster Broadcasting
Go from 1 message/second (WhatsApp Business limit) to 20 messages/second through the official API.
4. 0% Message Markup
Pay Meta's original prices directly. ChatDaddy adds zero markup on conversation fees.
5. Unlimited Team Seats
Add as many team members as you need at no extra cost. No per-seat fees.
6. Fast Template Review
Message templates are typically reviewed and approved within 3-5 minutes.
