What is a WhatsApp broadcast? Official versus banned bulk messaging

The short answer
A broadcast sends the same message to many customers. In the WhatsApp Business app a «broadcast list» reaches only people who saved your number, while official broadcasting uses an approved template through the official API, reaches whoever agreed to your messages even without saving your number, and reports on every message.

Why does WhatsApp broadcast matter to a seller?
Because unofficial bulk tools — running through WhatsApp Web or modified apps — are the fastest road to a banned number. Official broadcasting is paid per message, but it is protected and tells you who received, who read and whose message failed and why.

Frequently asked questions
What does a broadcast message cost?
It depends on the template category and the recipient's country; work it out in the campaign cost calculator.
Can I broadcast to numbers that did not save mine?
Yes with official broadcasting, provided they agreed to your messages.
Why did some broadcast messages fail?
Common reasons: the number is not on WhatsApp, the messaging limit was passed, or the customer stopped offers. The platform writes each message's reason.
