WhatsApp Spam Checker

• Fix this

  Shortened link (bit.ly, t.ly)

  People can't see where a short link goes, and scammers use them a lot. Use your full website address so customers recognise it.

• Fix this

  Words often seen in scam messages: click here

  Words like these make people suspicious and more likely to report you. Say plainly what you are offering.

• Fix this

  No way to stop these messages

  Add a line such as “Reply STOP to stop offers.” WhatsApp's rules ask businesses to explain how to opt out — and people who can stop easily are less likely to block or report you.

• Worth changing

  Lots of CAPITAL letters (5 words)

  Writing in capitals reads like shouting. Use normal sentence case and *bold* for the one thing that matters.

• Worth changing

  Pressure words: hurry, today only, don't miss, ends today

  Rushing people makes a message feel like spam. If there is a real end date, just state it calmly.

• Tip

  6 emojis

  A few emojis feel friendly; a lot look like a mass forward. Keep 1–3.

• Tip

  Many exclamation marks

  One “!” is enough. Too many make the message feel pushy.

• Tip

  Type your business name above to check it is in the message

  People should be able to tell who is writing in the first line.

• Tip

  Starts without a greeting or the customer's name

  Start with “Hi {{1}},” so it reads like a message to one person, not a mass send.

The limits used here (for example more than 2 links or 5 emojis) are our own rules of thumb, not WhatsApp numbers. The biggest factor is not in the text at all: message only people who opted in. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
