✅ Blocking & Reporting – Clear indicators show when a chat involves a business, and users can block or report them anytime with specific reasons.
✅ Feedback Options – Users can express interest in offers using “interested” or “not interested” buttons and adjust messaging preferences anytime.
Business-Focused Enhancements:
📢 Business Broadcasts – A paid feature allowing businesses to send targeted messages, ensuring meaningful communication.
📊 Message Limits – Restrictions prevent excessive marketing messages, keeping user experience relevant.
✅ Quality Control – Businesses must use pre-approved message templates, and metrics like read rates help optimize messaging strategies.
