Create WhatsApp broadcast - that's how it's done

WhatsApp broadcast does not arrive - it can be because of that

• First, make sure that you meet the requirements for sending broadcast messages: Every contact in the broadcast list must have their number saved in the contacts. In addition, each list may contain a maximum of 256 recipients.
• If you send a broadcast message to someone who has not saved your number, the message will be sent but not delivered. You can recognize this by a gray tick in the bottom right of the message.
• On the Internet, some users report that adding too many contacts to your broadcast list can cause problems - even if there are fewer than 256.
