How it works?

All you need to do is update WhatsApp to 2.19.91.1 beta version from TestFlight. WhatsApp Business beta for iOS 2.19.90.8 is also eligible to get audio playback tifications support remotely.

For w, we don't kw if users can also reply to those messs. More details awaited as to how this is going to work.
