How to use the WhatsApp Broadcast feature
By now everyone should know that WhatsApp is a tool for communication most effective. And it is that it not only allows you to be in contact with friends and family in a direct, instantaneous and individual way , but it is possible to send messages to group conversations to communicate with more than one person. However, WhatsApp has one more ace up its sleeve.A function that helps send a message individually, without the need to create groups or relationships between contacts, to make information known to a large group of people It's called Dissemination and we explain how it works below.
This is a really useful function to get information of interest to various contacts such as changing phone number, a emergency, a important notice, a message of congratulations”¦ The interesting thing about this broadcast is that, despite selecting a group of contacts , the message in question comes from individually to each one of them This means that Avoid creating groups to make a single message public, or having to introduce unrelated contacts into a group conversation
Its use is really easy, and it is quite similar to creating a conversation in group From the Chats screen or conversations, just look for the New Broadcasting button , either on the Menu button for Android users , or at the top of the screen for iPhone users Pressing it brings up the creation screen. At this point all you have to do is add the contacts to whom you want to send the message. The problem is that, up to now, the list of total contacts for the diffusion cannot exceed 25, something that we do not fully understand since, in the group conversations, it is possible to add up to total of 30 peopleAfter selection, by pressing the Done button, it is now possible to compose the message
Here is a text box where you can include the message A point in favor is the possibility of attach a photo, video, sound, location or contact information, just like in normal conversations. And not only that, it is also possible to add Emoji emoticons to make these messages more dynamic, expressive and colorful In addition, at any point before sending the message it is still possible to add forgotten contacts to the list
The broadcasts are recorded as one chat within the Chats screenSimply clicking on it leads to a screen where you can find out which which users on the list have received the message thanks to a graphic that shows the double check In addition, by clicking again on each one of the diffusion it is possible to access a screen where read the broadcast message, see which users were on the list and the possibility ofsend a new message to that contact list.
Lastly, like any chat, you can remove broadcasts from the Chats screen . To do this, just make a long press on the desired one and select Delete.
