Businesses Sending Unlimited Broadcasts/Month — Here’s the secret.
Utilize iSlash AI to send more broadcast on WhatsApp
Businesses love using WhatsApp broadcasts to start conversations at scale—but there’s a catch:
If customers haven’t saved your number, they won’t receive your broadcast.
You’re capped at 256 recipients per list (and risk being blocked for spam).
Why? Because WhatsApp prioritizes real, personal conversations over mass messaging.
The Good News: You can bypass these limits—legally—with the right tools.
WhatsApp Broadcast Limits: Personal vs. Business vs. API
Curious about the difference between the three WhatsApp options? Here’s what you need to know—keep reading to find out which one fits your business best.
1. WhatsApp Personal
✅ Broadcast to up to 256 contacts at once.
❌ Messages only deliver if the recipient has saved your number.
❌ Displays only your phone number—no business name or branding.
2. WhatsApp Business App
✅ Same 256-recipient cap.
✅ Extra features like quick replies and away messages.
❌ No automation, CRM sync, or scaling capabilities.
3. WhatsApp Business API
✅ No 256-contact cap—broadcast to unlimited.
✅ Deliver messages even if your number isn’t saved.
✅ Display your business name in chats and notifications—so customers recognize you instantly.
✅ Full automation: AI Agent, CRM integration, Comprehensive Analytics
✅ Increase messaging limits by following WhatsApp’s rules (see below).
As an official WhatsApp API Partner, most iSlash AI customers start broadcasting to 1,000 users daily—no hacks or workarounds needed.

Tips to Increase Your WhatsApp Messaging Limit
When you start using the WhatsApp Business API, you’ll begin with a 250 daily business-initiated conversation limit per number. This limit resets every 24 hours and applies to conversations initiated using message templates (marketing, utility, or authentication).
To increase this limit, here’s what you need to know:
✅ WhatsApp API Limit Tiers:
1K business-initiated conversations
10K business-initiated conversations
100K business-initiated conversations
Unlimited business-initiated conversations
Steps to Increase from 250 → 1,000 Conversations/Day
Complete Meta Business Verification
Maintain a medium or high-quality rating on your number
Wait for Meta’s system to approve an increase
Once you reach 1,000/day, future increases are automatic—based on your messaging volume and quality.
What If You’re Stuck at 250?
If Business Verification was rejected: You can resubmit doc open direct support ticket.
If Business is verified but still limited: Ensure you’re sending high-quality, relevant messages. Meta periodically reviews activity and may approve increases later.

How Automatic Scaling Works (After 1,000 Limit)
Once you reach the 1,000/day threshold, WhatsApp evaluates your number every 24 hours.
✅ Connected status: Phone number must be active
✅ Quality rating: Maintain "Medium" or "High"
✅ Usage: Send at least 50% of your current limit (e.g. 500+ messages if you're at 1K/day) over 7 days
Examples:
If all conditions are met, your limit increases by one tier.
If your quality rating drops to "Low," your limit decreases immediately.
Maintain High Messaging Quality Ratings
Your quality rating is everything. It’s updated every 7 days and based on how customers interact with your messages (e.g., reports, blocks).
Quality Rating States:
🟢 Green (High Quality) – Customers are engaging positively.
🟡 Yellow (Medium Quality) – Some negative feedback.
🔴 Red (Low Quality) – Lots of complaints, at risk of downgrade.
Tips to Stay in the Green:
Get clear opt-ins before sending any message.
Include an easy "STOP" option in every broadcast.
Segment your audience for better relevance.
Monitor open/reply rates and improve content accordingly.
