Isn't this related to an upcoming feature[1] for businesses to contact (some may read it as "spam") you on WhatsApp? If so, the verified colors being "green" or "yellow" is really a minor detail. A better submission would be a story of the "big picture" about businesses interacting with WhatsApp users. (E.g. Will the unsolicited commercial interactions make the platform better or drive people away?) >If you'd like to stop a business from contacting you, you can block them. I'm guessing users are not looking forward to the day when the smartphone imposes yet another housekeeping task on them.
