broadcast message

Widely sent communication

A broadcast message is a communication sent simultaneously to all recipients within a system or network, rather than to specific individuals.

In computing, it reaches every device on a network; in messaging apps or emergency systems, it goes to all users at once: The administrator sent a broadcast message about scheduled maintenance.

The term emphasizes one-to-many delivery.
