Part 1: 4 Ways to Send a Message to Multiple Contacts on WhatsApp
The four ways to send a message to multiple contacts on WhatsApp, as will be detailed in this article are:
Way 1 Forwarding Messages
This is the first option that comes to the mind of an average WhatsApp user when asked how to send a message to multiple contacts on WhatsApp. Using this method to send a message to as many contacts as you want is pretty straightforward and direct. It is also an effortless task to carry out. The best part of this method is that you can forward any message to any saved or unsaved contact from anywhere the chat is. It means that even the message you wish to forward is from you, a contact or a group chat, you can still forward it to other contacts without hassles. To do this:
- Step 1. Locate the message you wish to forward - be it on a group chat or a personal chat.
- Step 2. Press and hold the chat bubble till you see options display at the top of the screen.
- Step 3. Click the 'forward' icon (right arrow).
- Step 4. In the next screen that displays, select all the contacts/numbers you wish to forward the message to and click the 'send' icon.
Note
Please note that the recipients will be able to tell that it is a forwarded message.
Way 2 Group Chats
Another potent means of sending a message to multiple contacts on WhatsApp is through group chats. This may not be the original function of group chats on WhatsApp, but hey! You can use it the way you want; it is not a criminal offense. In this method, all you have to do is to create a group and add the contacts you wish to share a message with to the group. To do this:
- Step 1. Locate the message you wish to forward - be it on a group chat or a personal chat.
- Step 2. Press and hold the chat bubble till you see options display at the top of the screen.
- Step 3. Click the 'forward' icon (right arrow).
- Step 4. In the next screen that displays, click on the 'group' icon and select the group(s) you wish to forward the message to, then click the 'send' icon.
Note
Please note that the group participants will be able to tell that it is a forwarded message.
Way 3 Broadcast List
One good way to send a message to multiple contacts on WhatsApp is using the broadcast option provided by WhatsApp. In fact, that is its only function - to send a message to multiple contacts at once. To do this:
- Step 1. Open WhatsApp and create a new broadcast list.
- Step 2. Go ahead and write the message, or copy and paste it in the message box and hit 'send'.
Note
When you do this, your contacts will be able to tell that it is a broadcasted message because the message will bear a broadcast icon. Also, a contact that does not have your number saved on their device will not receive the broadcast message. (Little wonder why you don't receive annoying broadcast messages from unknown numbers?)
Way 4 Copy And Paste The Messages
Even though it is hard, it is still one good way to send a message to multiple contacts. All you have to do is to copy the message, and paste it to each contact one at a time. To make it easier, you can use your PC via WhatsApp web if you have one.
