Why is Whatsapp Broadcast List Not Showing?

If you receive a WhatsApp broadcast message but fail to view it, it may be because you have not saved the sender's number on your mobile device. WhatsApp wants you to know who’s sending you messages. That’s why it only allows messages from people you have saved as contacts. This helps you keep your messages private. It also stops spam. If you are not receiving broadcast messages, check your phone to see if the sender’s number has been saved.

Broadcast messages let one person send a message to lots of people at once. If you are having trouble getting these messages, it's probably because the sender's number isn't in your contacts. Once you have saved their number, you will start getting their broadcast messages automatically.
