Mackem News is on WhatsApp
WhatsApp Channels were launched globally in 2023, with over half a billion people using them after a year.
You can follow Mackem News on WhatsApp to get all the latest, breaking Sunderland news to be sent straight to your phone.
Across all of our channels, we already have tens of thousands of people signed up – so you really don’t want to miss out!
Why are WhatsApp Channels so great?
Most of us already have WhatsApp, so no sign-up is required and we won’t send any notifications to your phone unless you want them – but unless you want to miss an update about Sunderland, why wouldn’t you turn them on?
Other users won’t see any of your personal information but there’s no reason why you can’t send our WhatsApp Channel updates to all your friends and family who follow the Black Cats.
