Introducing the WhatsApp Business App

People all around the world use WhatsApp to connect with small businesses they care about — from online clothing companies in India to auto parts stores in Brazil. But WhatsApp was built for people and we want to improve the business experience. For example, by making it easier for businesses to respond to customers, separating customer and personal messages, and creating an official presence.   

WhatsApp launched its Business app — a free-to-download Android app for small businesses. Our new app will make it easier for companies to connect with customers, and more convenient for our 1.3 billion users to chat with businesses that matter to them. Here's how:

·        Business Profiles: Help customers with useful information such as a business description, email or store addresses, and website

·        Messaging Tools: Save time with smart messaging tools — quick replies that provide fast answers to frequently asked questions, greeting messages that introduce customers to your business, and away messages that let them know you're busy

·        Messaging Statistics: Review simple metrics like the number of messages read to see what's working

·        WhatsApp Web: Send and receive messages with WhatsApp Business on your desktop

·        Account Type: People will know that they're talking to a business because you will be listed as a Business Account. Over time, some businesses will have Confirmed Accounts once it’s been confirmed that the account phone number matches the business phone number

People can continue using WhatsApp as usual — there's no need to download anything new. And people will continue to have full control over the messages they receive, with the ability to block any number, including businesses, as well as report spam. 

Over 80% of small businesses in India and Brazil say WhatsApp helps them both communicate with customers and grow their business today (Source: Morning Consult study). And WhatsApp Business will make it easier for people to connect with them, and vice versa, in a fast and simple way. 

WhatsApp Business is available today and free to download on Google Play in Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. The app is rolling out around the world in the coming weeks. This is just the beginning!

OnePlus launches Powerfully Radiant OnePlus 5T Lava Red Edition

OnePlus, a global technology company, today introduced the OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition in India. The powerfully radiant Lava Red  variant of the OnePlus 5T with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, is a special offering for the Indian market following the overwhelming response to the Star Wars Limited Edition launched last month. Registrations for the OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition begin on 11th January 2018 on Amazon.in and will go on sale on 20th January 2018 at 12:00 IST. 

Inspired by the dynamic nature of lava with colours that change under different types of light, the  radiant Lava Red color shade is achieved through accurate combination of temperature, consistency and baking time with less than 0.01% variation. Even a micro deviation in any of the three aforementioned criteria would lead to 100% scrapping of the devices. Additionally, it uses two anodic oxidation processes, using double blasting and an AF coating to ensure the texture and feel. A completely redesigned wallpaper unique to this edition further enhances the user experience. The smudge-proof, premium finish is achieved through an expansive produce with very low yield rate.

Speaking on the new launch, Vikas Agarwal, General Manager, OnePlus India, said, “We are thrilled by the overwhelming response to the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition. This phenomenal excitement reinforces the trust that our fans have instilled in us, making us determined to continue to bring fresh experiences. We are happy to kickstart 2018 with the much requested OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition, our first ever red smartphone, that will certainly appeal to those looking for the perfect balance of beautiful design and powerful features.”

At 4.7, the OnePlus 5T is one of the highest rated smartphones in the premium segment on Amazon.in with 10% more reviews than other products.

OnePlus 5T Lava Red will be available with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and features the highest resolution dual-camera system of 16 and 20 MP sporting f/1.7 aperture on both lenses for better low-light photography. A large 6-inch Full Optic AMOLED Display with an 18:9 aspect ratio delivers a more immersive viewing experience, all while keeping a form factor similar to that of the OnePlus 5. 

Newly added to OxygenOS is Face Unlock, which allows users to unlock their phone just by looking at their device. One of the fastest on the Android market, Face Unlock uses over 100 identifiers to unlock the device. With Dash Charge, OnePlus’ signature powering technology, users will get a day's power in half an hour. Powered by the most powerful processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 835 platform, coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, the device can run many apps in the background without a single second of lag, allowing users to switch between apps with ease.

The OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition, priced at Rs. 37,999, will go on sale on 20th January 2018 at 12:00 IST on Amazon.in: https://www.amazon.in/b?ie=UTF8&node=14284297031
