To do this, head over to any chat you want to share. Tap on the three dots on the top right of the screen and click more. After that, click on export chat. Once you do that, you’ll be given the option to send the chat with or without media. Pick your option and share the chat using any of your sharing methods.

Broadcast messages to multiple contacts

If you love chatting with friends, family, and business associates on WhatsApp, you might have missed one of the most valuable features: broadcast messages. This allows users to send out a single message to multiple contacts simultaneously.

All you need to do is click the three dots on the top of the screen. From there, click on new broadcast. Select the contacts you want to add, and then click on the tick at the bottom of the screen. You can then type out a message or paste a message you would like to broadcast.

The benefit of broadcast messages is that they allow you to communicate with more than one person at once – which is hard to do through other instant messaging methods.
