What is Broadcast (bulk messaging)?

A WhatsApp broadcast sends an approved template message to many opted-in contacts at once — each recipient receives it as a normal 1:1 chat.

Unlike groups, recipients don't see each other. Good platforms add per-contact variables, throttling, delivery/read tracking and automatic opt-out handling. Sending to non-opted-in lists is the fastest way to get a number restricted.
