• Tap 'Messages.' The first time you open WhatsApp Business, you'll be asked if it can access your phone's contacts and location history for things like finding directions on Google Maps or finding nearby businesses via Foursquare. If not, tap 'Allow' or 'Don't Allow.'
• Tap 'All Contacts.' This will show all of the people saved under this account's name in its list of contacts. Tap on any contact from here to start sending them a message through WhatsApp Business (if they haven't blocked it).

6. You can now use WhatsApp Business with a new phone number

• If you want to use WhatsApp Business with a new phone number, simply follow the steps above. You'll be asked to message contacts who have your old number saved in their address book. This is so they can see that they are chatting with the right person. If you don't want to do this at this time, you can skip it and change your business number later on.
• Once you've changed your WhatsApp Business number and confirmed it by sending an invite link to yourself or someone else, go ahead and change your contact information with everyone else too!
