# WhatsApp marketing consent now available in the Admin API and Customer Account API

WhatsApp marketing consent can now be managed through both the Customer Account and Admin APIs. Use the `customerWhatsAppMarketingConsentUpdate` mutation to update a customer’s WhatsApp marketing consent status for their default phone number. You can read the current WhatsApp marketing consent value from the `CustomerPhoneNumber` object via the `whatsAppMarketingConsent` field.

For more details on managing WhatsApp marketing consent, see the `customerWhatsAppMarketingConsentUpdate` mutation in the [Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/mutations/customerWhatsAppMarketingConsentUpdate) and [Customer Account API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer/unstable/mutations/customerWhatsAppMarketingConsentUpdate) references.
