WhatsApp’s broadcast list feature has revolutionized group communication, but a recent glitch has left users puzzled. The broadcast list inexplicably disappears when searching to forward messages, leaving many wondering why WhatsApp can’t display the lists.
The issue seems to stem from WhatsApp’s efforts to combat spam, preventing broadcast lists from appearing in search results when attempting to forward messages. But don’t despair! A simple workaround exists:
- Open your friend’s chat on WhatsApp.
- Find the message you want to forward, tap and hold it.
- Tap the three vertical dots icon and select “Copy.”
- Exit the chat, go to your broadcast list, and open it.
- Paste the copied message and hit “Send.”
Voila! Your message is now forwarded to your broadcast list.
But what if you can’t create a broadcast list in the first place? Two common culprits are:
- An outdated WhatsApp application: Update your app to fix bugs and glitches.
- Cache problems: Clear your WhatsApp cache to eliminate corrupted data.
To create a new broadcast list:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the “Chats” tab.
- Tap the three vertical dots icon and select “New broadcast.”
- Choose the contacts you want to add (they must have your number saved).
- Tap the checkmark to create your list.
Remember, only contacts with your number saved will receive your broadcast messages.
Don’t let the search glitch hinder your communication. With these tips, you’ll be back to effortless broadcasting in no time!
