About WATI
Wati's feed is all WhatsApp marketing content, not product releases
The tracked feed for Wati is a content-marketing blog, not a product changelog: every recent entry is an SEO-oriented article about WhatsApp Business API, Meta Business Agent, drip campaigns, and voice agents rather than a shipped change to the Wati platform. What signal does exist points to Wati positioning itself around Meta's new Business Agent (repeatedly arguing it complements rather than replaces the WhatsApp Business API) and around WhatsApp native voice/calling. No actual version, capability, or pricing change is observable in these entries.
