iSmart Reach connects your number through Meta's own sign-up. It never scans a QR code or runs WhatsApp Web in the background, the way unofficial tools do.

Messages use templates Meta has approved, sending is paced, and campaigns only go to customers who agreed to marketing.
Like every business on WhatsApp, you follow WhatsApp's Business Messaging Policy. Meta can limit numbers that send spam or get blocked a lot.
