# Current status of Buttons on WhatsApp

WhatsApp allows you to send messages with buttons only when using the official Cloud API solution from Meta. However, Whapi.Cloud provider has the ability to duplicate the behavior of this solution even when using a regular number and allows you to send button messages to a private or group chat.

A detailed tutorial with sample code on how to send messages with buttons: [send-message-with-buttons](https://support.whapi.cloud/help-desk/sending/send-message-with-buttons "mention")

{% hint style="danger" %}
Button message functionality is provided on an 'as-is' basis due to its dependency on Meta's updates, which makes it inherently unstable. This section is regularly updated to reflect changes as WhatsApp's updates can affect button behavior independently of our control.

For the operation of buttons on WhatsApp, there are three decisive factors:

* Whether the WhatsApp sending the message is business or regular.
* Whether the message is being sent to an individual chat or a group.
* There is a dependency on the recipient's means of viewing the button message: phone or web version.
