Identify Whatsapp phone number when listing Twilio phone number

When listing our Twilio phone numbers using the Twilio REST API (https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/services/api/phonenumber-resource), a Whatsapp phone number appears as any other phone number.

There doesn't seem to be a specific capability for Whatsapp. We can only see voice, sms, mms and fax capabilities:

"capabilities": {
                "voice": true, 
                "sms": false, 
                "mms": false, 
                "fax": true
            },

What info can we use to identify a phone number as a Whatsapp phone number when using the Twilio REST API?

We tried using the Node Twilio module (v2.9.2 and v3.33.2).

Thanks,

Twilio developer evangelist here.

I'm sorry to say that there is not currently a way to determine if a number in your account is enabled for WhatsApp. I am seeing if the channels and phone numbers team can collaborate to enable this information in the API, but it is not connected right now.
