Summary

The Twilio Verify team is announcing the public beta of Twilio Verify WhatsApp, allowing developers to instantly send One-Time Passcodes to more than 2B monthly active users on WhatsApp with just a few lines of code. This new channel offers several benefits, including reaching consumers where they are, adding WhatsApp to existing Authy apps, and providing unique benefits for businesses sending OTPs. The feature is particularly useful for industries that are prohibited from sending direct messages on WhatsApp, such as dating, crypto, digital subscription, or gambling. With Twilio Verify WhatsApp, businesses can send messages at top-volume tiers without worrying about throttling, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical verification codes.
