    WhatsApp cloud API is Now Public!

    According to their docs,

    To start using it for development prepose

    1. Register as a Meta Developer
    2. Enable two-factor authentication for your account
    3. Create a Meta App: Go to developers.facebook.com > My Apps >
      Create App. Select the "Business" type and follow the prompts on
      your screen.
    4. From the App Dashboard, click on the app you would like to connect
      to WhatsApp. Scroll down to find the "WhatsApp" product and click
      Set up.
    5. the onboarding process performs the following actions:
    • our App is associated with the Business Manager that you chose
    • A WhatsApp test phone number is added to your business. You can use this test phone number to explore the WhatsApp Business Platform
      without registering or migrating a real phone number.
