Meta Unveils ‘WhatsApp Business’ App to Benefit Small Companies
By Movieguide® Contributor
Meta announced their new feature to WhatsApp Business which will help small companies promote and interact with their consumers.
Android Police reported that WhatsApp Business will now allow smaller companies to run ads on Facebook and Instagram without having a Facebook account.
The company said in a statement from Storyboard 18, “These ads are one of the most powerful ways to drive potential customers to message them on WhatsApp and this will open new opportunities for WhatsApp-only small businesses that need a simpler way to get started with advertising,”
In addition, WhatsApp is featuring a way that small businesses can send mass text messages to their consumers. This will range from appointment reminders, birthday greetings, upcoming holiday sales, and more.
WhatsApp isn’t the only app connecting people worldwide. Several Christian apps offer the opportunity for believers to connect and pray together.

The creators of ChatPray look to create a new way for people to connect.
“ChatPray is a wonderful new way for Christians to support each other and to pray together. It’s new and another step in using technology to serve the church. I know the people behind it and will give it a try,” Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said.
Although ChatPray is similar to the messenger app Whatsapp, it does not consume and profit from user’s private data while still providing a quality way for people to encourage one another through prayer.
Soultime’s survey of over 500 people revealed that over 70% of respondents claimed that prayer from others would help their mental health. Furthermore, over 70% said they had prayed more during COVID.
ChatPray app is free and allows users to connect with family and friends for the specific purpose of praying. Along with normal messaging functions, ChatPray also implements a “pray” chat that will notify people in the conversation if someone is praying for their request. An additional feature allows users to keep a personal prayer journal that is private to that user.
