Aberdeen City Council has launched a brand new WhatsApp Channel that will be used to share news and updates from across the city, including on exciting city events, delivered straight to your phone.
WhatsApp Channels are a one-way broadcast platform that allows you to privately follow organisations and individuals to receive updates. You can also forward on messages to friends and family.
How can I join?
To join the Aberdeen City Council WhatsApp channel, follow the steps below:
- Follow this link
- Once the Channel has opened on your mobile device, click 'Follow' in the top right corner
- Click on the bell icon in the top right corner to turn on notifications so you never miss an update
Once you've joined the Channel, you can view it at any point under the 'Updates' tab.
Will my details be visible?
No. Your profile name, photo and mobile number will not be visible to anyone in the Channel and won't be available to view from other followers or admins meaning that your personal details are kept hidden and secure.
You can opt in or out of the Channel at any point.
How else can I keep up to date?
You can follow us on Facebook, X (formally Twitter), Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. You can also check out our news page.
