#### Additional Methods to update WhatsApp Business profiles

1. Clients can update their own profile information directly.\
   Navigation: WABA Manager > **Profile**<br>
2. Manage Business Profiles using the Messaging API > [**Profile endpoints**](https://docs.360dialog.com/docs/messaging-api/api-reference/profile).&#x20;

#### Using the API

You can use the following endpoints to update the WhatsApp account's photo and business profile information:

Use this [endpoint](https://docs.360dialog.com/docs/messaging-api/api-reference/profile#post-whatsapp_business_profile) to configure the following business profile settings: business address, business description, email for business contact, business industry, and business website.

If you only need to update a couple of fields with new information, you can make a request that changes only the necessary fields. **You can use the `profile_picture_handle` parameter to update the profile photo.**

`HANDLE_OF_PROFILE_PICTURE` is the URL obtained from the Resumable Upload API.

#### Resumable Upload API for Profile Pictures

The [Resumable Upload API](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/guides/upload#resumable-upload-api) allows you to upload profile pictures to the Cloud API. Once uploaded, you can use a file's handle to update your `profile picture handle`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that to access and utilize the Resumable Upload API, it is mandatory to include the 360dialog-API-key within the header.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 1: Create a Session <a href="#step-1--create-a-session" id="step-1--create-a-session"></a>

Using this [endpoint](https://docs.360dialog.com/docs/messaging-api/api-reference/media-uploads#post-uploads), create a new upload session for media files.

#### Step 2: Initiate Upload <a href="#step-2--initiate-upload" id="step-2--initiate-upload"></a>

Initiate the upload session using this [endpoint](https://docs.360dialog.com/docs/messaging-api/api-reference/media-uploads#post-session_id). Upon success, a file handle `{h},`is returned that you can then use the {h} value to update your profile picture.&#x20;
