FAQ

WhatsApp Coexistence FAQ

What keeps working in the WhatsApp Business app and what the API adds on the same number.

Can I use the WhatsApp Business app and the API on the same number?

Yes. Coexistence lets you use one WhatsApp number in the WhatsApp Business app and on the WhatsApp Business Platform (API) at the same time, so you keep mobile usage while MonoChat adds a team inbox, AI and automation.

What keeps working in the WhatsApp Business app after I connect?

You keep your number, the app on your phone and your existing chats, and you can go on replying to customers from the app. Messages can be mirrored between the app and MonoChat so both sides see the conversation. Meta may limit a few app-only features once a number is connected.

Will I lose my chat history?

No. Your existing chat history stays in the WhatsApp Business app. Depending on what is supported for your setup, MonoChat may offer an optional history import so your team inbox starts with recent context.

Do I have to change my number or migrate to use the API?

No. With Coexistence you onboard your existing WhatsApp Business app number to the API without changing it, and customers keep writing to the number they already know.

Is WhatsApp Coexistence available in every country?

Not always. Availability depends on Meta policy, account eligibility and region. Share your business details with us and we will confirm the best setup path for your number.
