WhatsApp Marketing: User Filtering and Profile Picture Recognition

In real-world WhatsApp marketing, many businesses or marketers often face the same issue: despite investing substantial time, money, and purchasing large volumes of phone number lists, the conversion rate remains extremely low. Most attribute this problem to ineffective messaging scripts or insufficient reach. However, the core issue often lies in the lack of user filtering before launching the campaign.

First, it's important to understand that not every phone number is registered on WhatsApp. Many of the phone number lists found online come from third-party sources, outdated records, or data scraping. These often contain large numbers of unregistered users (deactivated accounts), virtual numbers, or even banned accounts. If you import these numbers directly into your marketing system without filtering, they will not only fail to respond, but may also cause WhatsApp to flag your account for suspicious activity, potentially leading to a ban.

Even if a number is registered on WhatsApp, it doesn't necessarily mean it’s an active user. Some accounts may not have logged in for a long time, have no profile picture or status, and show no interaction history. If your messages are delivered to these users, they likely won’t read, click, or respond. This kind of ineffective delivery is a major waste of both account resources and marketing efforts.

CrownSoft’s profile picture recognition feature in the Various Accounts Filters tool is designed to address exactly this problem. By analyzing profile pictures, the software can detect whether an account has set a profile image (which often indicates active use), and even preliminarily infer characteristics such as the user’s gender, age group, and interests based on the image content. For example, if the profile picture is a selfie of a young woman, the software can identify the user as a young female. If the image includes a pet or a car, it helps marketers tailor their messaging accordingly and gain additional insights about the user.

By pre-filtering numbers to check if they are registered on WhatsApp, whether they have a profile picture, and analyzing the content of the image, businesses can better classify users. Promotional messages can be sent to complete and suitable profiles, greetings or welcome messages to standard users, and inactive users can be temporarily set aside. This makes marketing efforts more targeted, efficient, and increases the overall conversion rate.

CrownSoft Various Accounts Filters can screen whether a phone number is registered with a WhatsApp account and determine gender and age through WhatsApp profile pictures. It can also identify objects contained in WhatsApp profile pictures, such as flowers, cats, dogs, cars, cups, and more. Additionally, it can check whether a phone number has activated accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram. After filtering, the results can be exported in .txt/.xls/.xlsx/.vcf formats.
