You live in a different country than me. Here, if I need to call a

can not live without having and using wasap. My bank manager this
morning sent me her profesional contact info, on wasap.

It isn't anywhere.

 
LOL! Here it is. Not obligatory, just the de facto standard. Everybody

In Europe the same rules apply.
BTW: I work in this industry. The use of consumer messengers for
business purposes is strictly forbidden everywhere for very serious
reasons. Messengers and in particular WA make it impossible for the
banks and other financial institutions to have an uninterrupted and
accepted documentation of client communication.

How come the UK Covid enquiry has been able to access the WA messages of
the cabinet and civil service then?

You do not understand much of the regulatory requirements of modern
business at all.
