YOUR WHATSAPP QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Will I be spammed with hundreds of updates as soon as I join the channel?
No, we promise to send only a carefully curated selection of the day's most important stories.
Will it mean I get dragged into conversations with other people?
No. Our Whatsapp channel is solely a broadcast channel - this means you can ‘like’ or ‘share’ stories, but you and other group members can’t make comments.
What if I change my mind?
Of course, we would hate to see you go, but you can unfollow us at any time!
I'm not sure I want people to see I've joined. What about privacy?
Firstly, you are not visible to other followers. They can’t see when you follow or what stories you interact with. WhatsApp’s privacy policy means your phone number is protected.
BOAT admins can see your profile name but they can’t see your full phone number unless they have already saved you as a contact. They may see your profile photo based on your privacy settings. For more information on privacy, go to our Whatsapp profile page and click ‘Profile Privacy’.
