WhatsApp Broadcast does exactly what it is called: with it you can broadcast messages to your contacts. In a standard Whatsapp chat, you can only send a particular message to one person at a time. If you want to send a message to more than one person, you will need to copy-paste the message to each contact one-by-one.
Imagine you want to send a motivational quote to all your contacts and you start pasting the message to them one after the other. This would certainly be a Herculean task you don’t want to try. The ideal way of sending the same chat to multiple contacts on Whatsapp is by using Broadcast.
Consequently in this post, I will be showing you how to set-up a broadcast on Whatsapp and use it to deliver a message to multiple people on your contact list.
How to Send A Broadcast Message to Your Whatsapp Contacts
On Whatsapp main page, click on the three horizontal dots. This will bring out options within the app.
On the displayed option, tap on New Broadcast. This will bring out all the contacts on your phone.
On the listed contacts, tap on the image (in a circle) towards the left-hand side of each contact to select it. The images are the profile pictures of your friends. On tapping a contact, it is selected, with a mark symbol depicting its selection.
After selecting all the contacts that you want to send the broadcast to, tap on the mark icon towards the bottom-right corner. This will take you a where you will type the broadcast message.
On the broadcast page, you will see the number of people you added. In my case, there are 6 recipients, meaning I added 6 contacts. Like in a normal Whatsapp chat, attachments, images and voice notes can be broadcast.
But for the purpose of this post, I will be broadcasting a message.
Tap on the chat-box to bring out your keyboard.
Using your keyboard, type the message you want to broadcast and tap on the send icon to broadcast our message.
NB: Your broadcast message would be delivered to the selected contacts that saved your number: If someone doesn’t save your number but you added the person in a broadcast, the person will never get the broadcast.
