Ban-risk and rate-limit safety on WhatsApp Status
Humanized posting delays
WhatsApp caps template and broadcast volume per tier; GentoPost keeps a visible per-day counter.
Official API only
WhatsApp Business Cloud API via official Meta OAuth 2.0, or a device-local share handoff. No scraping, no session cookies, no unofficial endpoints — the practices that actually get accounts suspended.
Compression before upload
WebCodecs re-encodes on your device — a 100 MB clip becomes roughly 12 MB — so WhatsApp Status uploads finish fast and stay inside its size ceiling. Try the compressor.
WhatsApp Status publishing questions
Specifics about limits, media and compliance when GentoPost posts to WhatsApp Status.
Can GentoPost post WhatsApp Status automatically?
Business Cloud API accounts publish directly. Personal accounts use a one-tap device handoff, because WhatsApp offers no official personal-status API — and GentoPost will not use unofficial ones.
What size should a WhatsApp Status video be?
Under 16 MB and 30 seconds. The on-device compressor gets a long clip under that ceiling without a desktop editor.
