Alphas and Betas are programs run by 360Dialog in collaboration with partners and clients to test new features before they become generally available on WhatsApp for Business APIs.
By joining an Alpha or Beta program, you’ll get early access to upcoming WhatsApp features and the chance to provide valuable feedback that directly influences their development. Your input will be shared with both 360dialog and Meta’s product teams.
At 360dialog, we validate and test all features before opening them up for client testing, ensuring a secure and reliable experience for your business.
Be part of the journey — help shape the future of WhatsApp!
Alpha and Beta refer to different stages in the development of a new product or feature:
An Alpha is an early-stage test with a smaller group of users, where the product is still in active development and may have limited functionality.
Once it progresses, it enters the Beta phase, which involves a broader group of users and typically includes improvements based on Alpha feedback.
After the Beta phase and final adjustments, the product is expected to reach General Availability (GA) — becoming fully released and accessible to all users.
Please note: These features are in testing. Participation requires a commitment to actively share feedback.
