Follow us on our WhatsApp channel


Why WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is one of the world’s most popular messaging platforms globally. This one-way broadcast platform allows you to privately follow your preferred organisations and individuals to receive updates, and users can opt in or out at any time.

We hope that our WhatsApp channel will enhance our communication channels making it easier for residents to receive messages directly from us and provide another convenient and accessible way for you to stay informed.  

What you can expect to see

Follow us to get the latest community news, events, important information and more delivered straight to your phone.

Although WhatsApp channels are a one-way platform, you can respond using an emoji.

What it isn’t

WhatsApp channels are different and separate to your Chats in the app. Following our WhatsApp channel does not mean that we will feature in your list of personal Chats, but instead our updates will appear in the Updates tab in the app. Your profile name, photo and mobile phone number are kept hidden and secure, and not in view to us or other followers.

How to join our WhatsApp channel

Joining is easy, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Scan the QR code below or follow this link to our channel.
  2. Once the channel opens, click ‘Follow’ in the top right.
  3. Make sure you click the bell icon in the top right to turn on notifications, so you never miss an update.

How else to keep up-to-date

Alongside the new WhatsApp channel, you can follow Devon County Council on Facebook and Instagram or you can sign up to receive our weekly e-newsletter for the latest news round-up from across the county.
