Dear Friends
WhatsApp Migration
Why are we moving from WhatsApp Broadcast to WhatsApp Channels?
1. More protection of your personal information – you do not need to share your cell number and we do not need to save your number on a database.
2. You can respond to posts with emojis.
3. WhatsApp channels comply with local and international privacy laws. One follower cannot view or access another follower’s personal information.
Messages will be sent via the broadcast and the ISKCON Durban channel during migration. You can now subscribe to our WhatsApp ISKCON Durban News channel for darshan, news and event updates. Please use this link or the QR code on the side panel to subscribe. If you experience any issues, please check that your WhatsApp is updated.
