Broadcast Lists
A broadcast list lets you send one message to several saved contacts at once. Each person receives it as their own 1-to-1 chat — it is not a group, and it is not a Broadcast Channel.
Use a list when you want to announce something privately to people you already chat with.
Get started
- Open your profile.
- Open Broadcast lists.
- Create a list and pick contacts.
- Write the message and send.
Recipients see a normal private chat from you — they do not see who else is on the list.
Free vs Premium
| Free | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Recipients per list | 3 | 50 |
| Sends per month | 10 | 120 |
Tips and limits
- Recipients must already be contacts you can message.
- This is not a Broadcast Channel. Channels are public-or-searchable feeds with followers. Lists fan out private 1-to-1 copies.
- Blocked people will not receive the send.
- File size still follows your chat file cap (free 50 MB, Premium 200 MB unless you use Rocket Drop).
Troubleshooting
I cannot add more people
You hit the recipient cap for your plan. Remove someone, or subscribe to Premium for up to 50 recipients.
Send is blocked or the counter looks used up
Free accounts get 10 list sends per month; Premium gets 120. Wait for the monthly reset, or subscribe.
Someone on the list did not get the message
- Confirm they are still a contact and not blocked.
- They must be able to receive 1-to-1 chat (correct Buzzio ID, app updated).
- Sealed delivery still applies — if they stay offline for about 3 days, an undelivered copy can be purged.
