### Upload via Facebook Business Account

If you manage your WhatsApp account through Meta Business Manager, you can also update your display image directly in **WhatsApp Manager**.

#### Steps:

1. Log in to your **Facebook Business Account** (the one connected to your DoubleTick WhatsApp number).

2. In your **DoubleTick Dashboard**, open **Settings → Manage WABAs**.

   * Again, make sure you have **Admin/Owner** access.<br>

7. Under **Profile Photo**, click **Choose File**.

8. Upload your **640 × 640 pixel** image.

9. Click **Save Changes**.

That’s it! Your new logo will now update on your WhatsApp Business API profile.

> ⏱️ **Update Time:**\
> Profile images usually update within **5 minutes**, but Meta’s system may take **a few hours** to fully propagate the change across WhatsApp’s network.

***

### 💡 Troubleshooting & Tips

If your new logo doesn’t appear right away:

* Wait for a few hours — image updates are cached and take time to sync.
* Ensure the image meets all requirements (format, size, and dimensions).
* Avoid uploading images with transparent backgrounds — WhatsApp sometimes displays them incorrectly.
* If you still don’t see the update after 24 hours, contact DoubleTick Support for assistance.

### 🧠 Best Practices for Business Display Images

1. **Use a recognizable logo:** It should clearly represent your brand — avoid text-heavy or busy images.
2. **Center your logo:** Make sure the main element fits neatly within a circle when cropped.
3. **Stick to your brand colors:** Consistency across your website, social media, and WhatsApp helps customers trust your business.
4. **Avoid low-resolution files:** Blurry or pixelated images can appear unprofessional.

***

### 🧭 Key Takeaway

Your **display image is often your customer’s first visual impression** of your business on WhatsApp.\
By keeping it properly sized, clear, and consistent, you ensure that every message sent through your DoubleTick API number reflects professionalism and trust.

Whether you upload it through the **DoubleTick Dashboard** or your **Facebook Business Account**, these small steps go a long way in strengthening your brand identity across WhatsApp.
