Send Bulk Messages on WhatsApp
There are several ways you can send WhatsApp bulk messages through:
- Unofficial apps
- WhatsApp Business
- WhatsApp Business API
Using unofficial tools to send bulk messages on WhatsApp is a violation of WhatsApp’s terms of service, and could result in your account being banned.
WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Business API are designed specifically for businesses to communicate with customers and are compliant with WhatsApp’s terms of service. You can use the features provided by both versions of WhatsApp to send WhatsApp bulk messages without getting banned.
WhatsApp Business app is not a viable option for medium or large enterprises due to the app’s limitation of 256 contacts per bulk message. If you are an SME or enterprise looking to send a WhatsApp bulk message, the best choice is WhatsApp API.
