What comes along, and what changes.

Comes along

Your last 6 months of chats and your contacts. The number, and the app on your phone, keep working.

Changes in the app

Broadcast lists become read-only. Disappearing messages, view-once and live location are turned off.

Not on linked numbers

Product-catalog sending. If you need it, use a dedicated number instead.

Keep it linked

Open the WhatsApp Business app at least every 14 days, or the link can disconnect.

Link your number in six steps.

It all happens in WaSparks and in Meta’s own signup window. The full setup guide covers the Meta part in detail.

  1. Start in WaSparks

    Sign in and choose Connect WhatsApp. Meta’s own signup window opens; log in with a Facebook account that’s an admin of your business, and choose your business.

  2. Enter your app number

    Choose to connect your existing WhatsApp Business app number, and enter it.

  3. Copy the code Meta shows

    Meta shows a code in its window. Copy it; you’ll paste it at the end.

  4. Tap Connect on your phone

    On your phone, open the message from Facebook Business in the WhatsApp Business app and tap Connect.

  5. Share your chat history

    Confirm sharing your chat history, so your last 6 months of chats and your contacts come along.

    Meta needs the sync to happen within 24 hours of linking.

  6. Paste the code to finish

    Back in Meta’s window, paste the code. Your number is linked: your team works in WaSparks, and you keep the app on your phone.

Questions about linking.

From Meta’s own rules.

Do messages I send from the app cost anything?

No. Messages you send from the WhatsApp Business app stay free. Messages sent through WaSparks use the API, and Meta bills them at its per-message rates.

What happens to my broadcast lists?

They become read-only in the app. Send campaigns from WaSparks instead, with approved templates.

Do I have to keep the phone?

Yes. Open the WhatsApp Business app at least every 14 days, or the link can disconnect.

Which countries can link a number?

India has been supported since May 2025, and Meta has added more countries since. Check during setup if you’re elsewhere.
