WhatsApp is widely used app for text messaging and video calling, and it covers 180 countries and having over 1.5 billion active users. And a few months back WhatsApp was limit the message forwarding to 5 users, and this limit is still active on WhatsApp.
In exactly the exact same time it is also a pain since you need to become part of various groups and it takes a good deal of time to keep an eye on the conversation or even revert into a message. Many times we get annoyed that we end up muting the groups.
But did you know that, there is an easier way to send a message to 256 people at the same time, even you don’t need to forward message to each and every person. By using this feature you can easily send a single message to your selected contact list within a second without creating any group.
For example, if you want to forward a “Good Morning” or “Good Evening” text to more than 5 groups and contacts then you can do it very easily.
There’s a feature in WhatsApp, which allows you to get multiple contacts at the exact same time and that too without adding them to some group. This attribute is called Broadcast Lists.
Yes, this is true most of us, we don’t know about this Broadcast Lists, but don’t worry, I am here to tell you about this feature, let start how to use. Broadcast Lists in whatsapp allow us to send messages to more that 5 users, without creating a group.
