This special WhatsApp feature will help you connect with many contacts at once; no, it's not a group

Want to send messages to multiple contacts, but without creating a fresh group? Well, now you can do that with Whatsapp's lesser known feature, Broadcast List. With this one-to-many conversation feature, you won't have to select each contact every time you wish to share the same message with all of them. 

What is WhatsApp Broadcast List 

Broadcast Lists are saved lists of message recipients that you can repeatedly send broadcast messages to, without having to select them each time.

Here's how to create WhatsApp Broadcast List:

• Open WhatsApp.
• Go to the Chats screen > Menu Button > New broadcast.
• Tap + or type in contact names to choose recipients from your contact list.
• Tap Done.
• Tap Create. 

This will create a new list of broadcast recipients. When you send a message to the Broadcast List, it will send to all recipients in the list. The recipients will receive the message as a normal message. When they reply, it will appear as a normal message in your Chats screen. Significantly, their reply will not be sent to other recipients in the Broadcast List.

Only those contacts who have added your WhatsApp number in their address book will receive your messages. 

How to edit a Broadcast List

• Open your Broadcast List.
• Tap the Menu Button > Broadcast list info.
• In the Broadcast list info screen you can:
• Change the name of your Broadcast List by tapping the Pencil icon.
• Add recipients to the list by tapping on the Add recipient... button.
• Remove recipients by tapping, holding and selecting Remove {recipient} from broadcast list.
