Broadcast groups

How many times have you dropped an important message in a WhatsApp group and gone unnoticed? Exactly the same times you've ended up using your co-workers pool as a dumping ground for funny, tacky, pornographic memes, GIFs, and videos Something that seems to have become law universal. And it is that the group chats of WhatsApp can become a real pain. Although they are useful for communicating the same information to a group of contacts, the possibility that each one talks about one thing causes the message to end up being lost, making them a real chicken coop.The solution? The WhatsApp Broadcasts

For those who don't know them, it is a kind of group one-way That is, a way of communicating a message or informationto a whole group of contacts without the need for them to have the right to reply The sender contacts all the users he wants but without them these contacts can talk to each other Something like an announcement channel that anyone can use without compromising the privacy of the rest of the users or create new groups that will wear out the patience of friends and family.

This would avoid creating a common place of communication while still transmitting information. It would put an end to the memes that end up saturating the terminal's memory, with the constant notifications that create responses such as “ok”, “vale” and other messages similar, apart from the social tension of wanting to leave a group without raising the anger of its members.

How to create a broadcast

Its operation is really useful, and it is available to any user on the current platforms where it can be used WhatsApp:Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Just display the main menu of WhatsApp and click on the New Broadcast option. The next step is to choose the list of contacts to whom you want to send a message. The maximum number is 256 contacts, which offers more than enough margin to announce a wedding, sound the alarm about an event and transmit information a specific number of people, even if they don't know each other.

Created broadcasts remain on the chat screen as one more conversation. The difference is that the creator is the only one who can use them. To do this, you just have to compose a message as usual.As in groups, it is possible to use Emoji emoticons to give dynamism and color to the text. In the same way as chats, it is also possible to send photos, videos, contact cards or even locations In other words, it is a most complete communication channel.

When the message is sent, all contacts on the previously selected list receive it as if it were an individual message from the sending user Thus , no group conversation is created where you can share opinions and other content. It is completely one way. The broadcast created remains between the chats in case it is necessary to reuse it before any transmission of information to a group of unconnected people.
