What is an active WhatsApp number?

Whether a number is active can be judged mainly from the following aspects:

· The number has been registered with WhatsApp and can receive messages normally

· Recently logged into WhatsApp, with status displayed as "Online" or "Last seen"

· Have active signs such as profile picture, profile, status updates, etc.

· Can successfully join the group or interact with you normally

Simply put, active numbers are "WhatsApp users who can be contacted and show signs of use." Inactive numbers may refer to numbers that are not registered, have uninstalled the APP, or have not been updated after changing numbers. Such numbers usually cannot achieve effective communication.

Why check if a WhatsApp number is active?

When doing WhatsApp marketing , only by sending messages accurately to active users can you increase the open rate and conversion rate. Otherwise, you may face the following problems:

· There is no feedback after the message is sent, and the interaction rate is extremely low

· Waste of marketing costs and customer service efforts

· The system identifies it as a mass message, increasing the risk of being blocked.

· Unable to count the real and effective number of customers, affecting decision-making

Marketing should be based on data, and active numbers are your "effective assets". Only by clarifying which numbers are truly available can subsequent mass messaging, customer service, and follow-up actions truly generate value.

Common methods to detect active WhatsApp numbers

There is currently no "number activity detection function" officially provided by WhatsApp on the market, but it can be done indirectly through some operating techniques.

Manual testing (suitable for small-scale operations)

Save the number to your address book, then refresh the contact list in WhatsApp and observe the following:

· Can the contact be displayed?

· Can I see my profile picture and status?

· Can I send a message to it and display "sent" or "read"?

· Can be added to the group?

Advantages : simple, direct, no tools
required Disadvantages : time-consuming, inefficient, not suitable for batch operations

Group testing (medium-scale testing)

Create a WhatsApp group and try to add multiple target numbers. Unregistered numbers will be prompted "Cannot be added".

Advantages : Can detect dozens of numbers at a time
Disadvantages : Still requires manual operation, unable to count and classify results

Use third-party detection tools (only suitable for users with compliant data sources)

Some data service platforms can provide number detection services , which can quickly determine which numbers have been registered for WhatsApp. Such services are usually for corporate customers with legitimate data sources and are not suitable for casual use. Before using, you need to understand the data compliance risks to avoid infringing user privacy or triggering WhatsApp's anti-cheating mechanism.

After the test is completed, how to carry out effective customer management?

After the detection is completed, the company still needs to systematically manage and classify active users, otherwise customer resources will still be easily wasted. At this time, the FBsee customer service system can be used for intelligent processing.

Although FBsee does not detect numbers, it can help you manage connected WhatsApp clients.

FBsee is an intelligent customer service system that aggregates social platforms . Although it does not have the function of screening or detecting numbers, when customers contact the company through WhatsApp, the system can automatically record visitors, count, label, and calculate response rates, etc. , helping companies achieve truly refined customer management .

Automatic counting after customer access

Whenever a new customer accesses the FBsee customer service system via WhatsApp, the system will automatically record the number of conversations, customer source, and first communication time. The company can understand at a glance the current customer inflow through the WhatsApp channel.

Tag management makes customer classification clearer

label customers differently based on their origin, needs, interaction frequency, whether they have placed orders, etc. , such as "new visitor", "high intent", "purchased", "need to follow up", etc. In this way, more accurate content push can be achieved in subsequent group messaging or manual communication.

Quick replies improve interaction efficiency

FBsee supports setting up quick reply templates , especially after screening out potential customers, quickly introducing products, sending quotations, and answering common questions, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

Customer pool sedimentation + data statistics

Although FBsee is not responsible for helping you detect whether your number is registered for WhatsApp, all customers who have connected to the FBsee system will be retained in the customer pool, making it convenient for re-contact, data review, and effect analysis in the future.

Why should testing and management be carried out together?

Checking the activity of numbers is a preliminary action, while customer tag management and interaction tracking are the key to follow-up. Although some companies have checked a large number of active numbers, they have not formed a continuous customer operation mechanism, resulting in low subsequent marketing effects.

Detection is "determining who can speak", and FBsee is "determining how to speak, what to say, and to whom to speak".
Only by combining the two can we truly achieve efficient WhatsApp marketing.

Several practical suggestions for number detection and customer management

· Do testing before marketing to reduce invalid sending

· Use compliance tools or methods to avoid being blocked by the system

· After detection, import into FBsee in time, label the customers, and follow up on the classification

· Regularly check customer data statistics in FBsee to optimize reply content and words

· Conduct secondary marketing based on tagged customers to increase conversion rate
