Does anyone have a  suggestion as to how I can send out a broadcast-like message to a lot of people? The broadcast feature has a 256 person limit and also wont send it to anyone who doesnt have your number saved in their phone. I'm wondering if there is an app that can do this through whatsapp.

I did google it. I am now asking for a recommendation as to which one is the best service. I need to send out a PDF document. Thank you

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Received a voicemail from WhatsApp 4 am with verification code (on my google voice) so looked it up. Apparently there’s a scam going around.

No doubt that it's an issue but you posted an article from 2 years ago.

Anyway to save the media on my sd card? I'm sure that was asked before?

 Or anyway to move to my sd card from my phone without killing the photos, meaning that I should be able to leave the file location intact so I can go back to a chat and find the picture when I click on it?
