How to Send a Message to Multiple Contacts on WhatsApp

Easy ways to send or forward a WhatsApp message to more than one person

Or, if you want all of the recipients to be able to chat together, you can add up to 256 contacts to a group chat. You can also share an existing message with a few friends using the Forward feature, or use WhatsApp Web to quickly copy and paste messages across multiple conversations. This wikiHow guide will teach you the easiest ways to send a WhatsApp message to multiple contacts using your Android, iPhone, iPad, or computer.
