ITG's new global filtering feature tested: Can using WS Active Filtering Pro to detect numbers improve effective outreach?

In today's increasingly sophisticated WhatsApp marketing landscape, identifying active users from a massive number of phone numbers has become crucial for improving efficiency. Many teams experience low reach rates when sending mass messages, the root cause being the presence of numerous invalid accounts in their lists. ITG's WS Active Filter Pro feature is designed to address this pain point. Building upon its existing detection capabilities, WS Active Filter Pro adds two new dimensions: profile picture recognition and business account filtering, helping to comprehensively evaluate account quality. This article will analyze how the new feature improves effective reach through practical application.

I. What are the basic detection capabilities of WS Active Screening Pro?

Prior to the upgrade, WS Active Filtering Pro already possessed multi-dimensional basic detection capabilities, providing reliable data support for account quality assessment:

• WhatsApp number mapping identification : Accurately determines whether each phone number is registered with WhatsApp, eliminating invalid numbers that are not yet activated from the source.
• Active days statistics : Based on the user's login frequency over the past 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days, accounts are divided into different levels such as high-frequency activity, normal activity, and low activity.
• Active time analysis : Identifying users' typical online times provides a reference for selecting subsequent content push times.
• Account Status Check : Determines whether the account is in a normal state and whether there is a risk of being banned or restricted.

These basic detection dimensions form the underlying framework of account evaluation, helping the operations team to quickly complete the initial screening.

II. How to filter profile pictures?

Avatar filtering is a major highlight of this upgrade to WS Active Filtering Pro . As the most direct visual identifier of an account, the avatar's settings often reflect a user's authenticity and willingness to be active.

• Profile Picture Detection : The system automatically identifies whether each account has set a profile picture. Accounts with profile pictures usually mean that the user has at least logged in and completed the basic settings.
• Profile Picture Type Recognition : Using AI algorithms to help determine the type of profile picture, users with real-life profile pictures tend to have a higher willingness to interact.
• Profile Picture Update Detection : Records the time of the last profile picture update to understand how frequently a user maintains their account. Users who regularly change their profile pictures are generally more active.
• Avatar URL Output : This output provides the complete URL of the avatar, facilitating subsequent manual review or secondary analysis.

In practice, operators only need to select the "avatar filter" option in the filtering dimensions, and the system will automatically complete the above detection and output the results along with other account information.

III. How to identify commercial accounts?

In addition to avatar recognition, WS Active Filtering Pro has added a business account filtering function to help operations teams distinguish between individual users and enterprise accounts:

• Business Account Identification Detection : Identifies whether an account has been verified as a WhatsApp Business account, and determines whether the user is a business user.
• Enterprise information identification : For verified business accounts, publicly available information such as the company name and company profile can be obtained.
• Business Account Activity Analysis : This section provides data support for B2B marketing scenarios by analyzing the online patterns and number of active days of business accounts.
• Personal and Commercial Account Categorization Output : The system automatically groups detection results by account type, facilitating the development of differentiated outreach strategies.

For marketing scenarios targeting enterprise clients, identifying and focusing on key business accounts often leads to higher conversion rates.

IV. Actual Test Results: How can the new features improve effective reach?

Through actual testing and comparison, the new feature of WS Active Filtering Pro shows significant improvement in reach:

• The value of profile picture filtering : Users with profile pictures generally have a higher response rate in group messages than users without profile pictures, and users with real profile pictures are relatively more willing to interact.
• The value of selecting business accounts : In B2B marketing scenarios, customized content for business accounts significantly improves conversion rates compared to mass messaging.
• The value of multi-dimensional combined filtering : Users who simultaneously meet the criteria of "having a profile picture + being active in the past 7 days" have higher message open and reply rates.
• Efficiency Improvement : Through automated screening, the manual screening process that originally took several days can be completed in just a few tens of minutes.

V. Operation Guide: How to use WS Active Filtering Pro?

For operations teams looking to try out new features, the process is very simple:

• Step 1 : Log in to the ITG global filtering platform and enter the WhatsApp filtering module.
• Step 2 : Upload the file containing the phone number to be checked (supports TXT, CSV, and other formats).
• Step 3 : Select the desired options in the filtering dimensions, including registration status, number of active days, presence or absence of a profile picture, and identification of commercial accounts.
• Step 4 : Click "Start Detection," and the system will automatically perform batch analysis.
• Step 5 : After the detection is complete, review the structured report and export the target user list as needed.

The entire process requires no technical expertise and can complete the screening of hundreds of thousands or even millions of phone numbers.

Conclusion

As competition intensifies in WhatsApp marketing, the sophistication of number screening directly impacts the upper limit of outreach effectiveness. ITG's new WS Active Filtering Pro , with its added avatar recognition and business account screening features, provides operations teams with a more comprehensive dimension for account evaluation. From basic detection to multi-dimensional combined screening, and finally to structured output of results, WS Active Filtering Pro helps teams quickly translate screening results into practical operational actions. For teams aiming for higher effective outreach rates, this complete solution, from functionality to practical application, is worth trying.
