Display Name

Compliance & trust

Definition
The business name shown to customers on a WhatsApp Business number, which Meta reviews against its naming guidelines before approval.

What Display Name means

The display name is the name customers see for a business on WhatsApp — at the top of the chat and in notifications. Meta reviews every display name against its guidelines: it must accurately represent the business, match the brand, and avoid prohibited content or misleading wording.

A compliant, recognisable display name matters for trust and is one of the factors Meta considers for the green tick. A rejected display name delays going live, so getting it right the first time is worth the care.

InfiQ helps customers choose and submit a display name that meets Meta's rules, and its green-tick checklist covers display-name best practice.
