Almost every UAE business runs a WhatsApp Business account, and almost every professional gets asked for "your number" within minutes of meeting someone. It's tempting to treat WhatsApp Business as your whole online presence. It isn't quite that, and a MyInfo digital business card isn't a WhatsApp replacement either. They solve two different moments in the same relationship: the introduction, and the conversation that follows it.
What WhatsApp Business does well
WhatsApp Business gives you a business profile, a catalogue of products or services, quick replies and away messages, and a fast way to keep a running conversation with someone who already has your number. Once a contact is talking to you, it's a strong tool for staying in touch.
What a MyInfo card adds
A WhatsApp Business chat starts after someone already has your number. A MyInfo card is how they get it in the first place. Your card carries your photo, job title, company, phone numbers, email, and links, shared by a link, a scanned QR code, or an NFC tap, so someone can find and save you without exchanging a message first. See how to share a card on WhatsApp for putting the two together.
Save Contact, not just a chat window
Adding a number to WhatsApp only starts a chat; it doesn't give the other person your job title, company, email, or a proper contact entry. A MyInfo card lets any visitor tap Save Contact and add your full details straight into their phone's contacts app in one step. That's a saved connection, not just a chat window that gets buried under the next hundred messages.
Capturing enquiries, not just replying to them
WhatsApp Business waits for someone to message you. A Premium MyInfo card can capture their details the moment they open your card, before any message is sent, with Exchange Contact: visitors leave their name, phone and email, and the lead lands straight in your dashboard. That's useful at a stand, a reception desk, or a viewing, where you'd rather have a name and number on file than hope someone remembers to message you later.
Use both together
There's no need to choose. Add your WhatsApp number as an icon on your MyInfo card (see links, videos and content) so people can message you straight from it, and keep your WhatsApp Business catalogue and quick replies for the conversation that follows. Your card is what gets you found, saved and remembered; WhatsApp Business is what keeps the conversation going afterwards.
Getting started
Creating a MyInfo card is free and takes a few minutes, on top of whatever you already run on WhatsApp Business. Create your card, add your WhatsApp number as a link, and start sharing it wherever you'd otherwise just hand over a phone number.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to give up WhatsApp Business to use MyInfo?
No. They do different jobs. Add your WhatsApp number to your MyInfo card so people can message you, and keep using WhatsApp Business for the conversation and catalogue afterwards.
Can people message me on WhatsApp without saving my number first?
Yes. Add a WhatsApp icon to your MyInfo card and visitors can open a chat with you directly, without typing or saving your number themselves.
