Are you looking to start a conversation with a WhatsApp user? In this post, we have explained how to send a message on WhatsApp.
Exchanging messages on WhatsApp comes at no cost, except that you need a data connection or access to Wi-Fi. Once you send a message and the receiver has active internet, the message will be delivered to them, and they can reply.
Messages on WhatsApp go beyond texts alone. You can add emoji, send stickers, document, images and videos on a WhatsApp message and receive it when a user sends it to you.
Interestingly, you can send a message to a single user or send it to many at a time using the “broadcast” feature. You can also send a message to a WhatsApp group.
How to Send WhatsApp Messages
You need to have an active internet connection to send a message on WhatsApp. Then, you must locate the contact to send a message. Go to “Contacts”, select it and either type a new message or forward a message that was sent to you or a group.
Meanwhile, you can revoke a message sent before it gets read by the receiver. Tap the message and select the bin icon from the top of your screen to delete it. If you have exchanged messages with the user in the past, you can easily find their account under chats.
To send a message in a group, go to the chats screen and select the group to open it. While in the group, you can start to type your message and send it. Note that all groups will see your message once sent unless you delete it using the “Delete for everyone” option.
You can also send a message to multiple people at a time. This kind of message is referred to as a broadcast message. To send a broadcast message, you need to create a list.
Select the three dots icon from your chats screen and select “New broadcast”. On the next screen, you can add the users you want to the list. Note that you can add up to 256 contacts to the broadcast list.
After adding your contact, you can give the list a name and view it. While on the list, you can create a message and send it. The message will be sent to all the contacts you have added to the list.
Ensure you take advantage of emojis and stickers to spice up your conversations. There are plenty of fun stickers you can use while chatting. You can install sticker apps on your phone to use on WhatsApp.
Aside from texts, you can exchange pictures, videos and documents in your chats.
How to forward a message on WhatsApp
If you have received an interesting message and would love to share it with other users, you can forward the message, even if it is a picture or video.
To forward a message, select and hold the message and select the arrow icon from the top of the screen. On the next screen, you will need to choose a contact to forward the message to, and they will receive it.
But be aware that once you forward a message, a user will know you forward it once they see the “forwarded” stamp on the message. Otherwise, try using the copy and paste feature to send the message to hide the forward tag.
Conclusion
Unlike text messages, you don’t make payments to chat on WhatsApp. However, you must be connected to the internet. If you find this post helpful, I also recommend checking out my post on How to Post on Instagram.
