How to Activate Residential Proxy
The proxy feature is automatically available when you add a new WhatsApp number. Here’s how to configure it:Steps
In the “Add New WhatsApp Number” modal, you’ll see the Proxy Location dropdown (marked with a “Beta” badge)
Click the dropdown and select the country where your phone is physically located
- For example: If you have a USA number but your phone is in Mexico, select Mexico
- The proxy location should always match your device’s physical location, not the number’s country code
Review the visual explanation showing how the proxy works:
- Your Phone → Proxy Server (near you) → WhatsApp
Select the proxy location during initial setup. While you can change it later by managing the WhatsApp instance, it’s best to choose correctly from the start.
