Questions people ask

What is the best time to send WhatsApp messages in India?+

For most shops and online stores, evenings between 7:30 and 10 PM work well. Appointment businesses do better in the morning, and B2B messages during working hours on Tuesday to Thursday.

What time should I avoid?+

Late night and early morning. Messages that arrive while people sleep are often blocked or reported, which hurts your WhatsApp quality rating.

How often can I send broadcasts?+

Once or twice a week is a safe start. Watch your quality rating in WhatsApp Manager and slow down if it drops.
