Understanding WhatsApp Broadcast Tier Limits

Post Banner

WhatsApp Business API is a powerful tool for scaling customer engagement through verified, high-conversion messaging. However, to ensure quality and prevent spam, WhatsApp has introduced **broadcast messaging limits** — also known as **tier limits**. These limits define how many unique users a business can message in a 24-hour window.

What Are WhatsApp Broadcast Tiers?

WhatsApp broadcast tiers categorize your business's ability to send messages based on recent activity and message quality. You automatically move between these tiers depending on your usage and engagement levels. These are not paid upgrades but system-determined limits.

The 4 Broadcast Tiers

  • Tier 1: Send messages to up to 1,000 unique users every 24 hours.
  • Tier 2: Reach up to 10,000 unique users within 24 hours.
  • Tier 3: Message up to 100,000 unique users in a day.
  • Tier 4: Unlimited messaging capacity (subject to WhatsApp approval and strong quality metrics).

How to Move to a Higher Tier

WhatsApp automatically promotes your business to a higher tier based on two factors:

  • Consistent messaging activity over 7 days.
  • High-quality rating (no spam reports, high engagement).
If you maintain a low complaint rate and steady broadcast volume, your tier will automatically scale.

Quality Rating Matters

Every number on the WhatsApp API is monitored for message quality. If users block or report your messages, your quality rating may drop, resulting in a downgrade or even temporary sending restrictions. Always use relevant templates, obtain opt-ins, and follow best practices.
