Lake Constance District now also on WhatsApp – Get the latest information!
From now on, citizens in the Bodenseekreis can easily receive the latest information directly on their smartphone. As bodenseekreis.de reports, the district office is now offering a WhatsApp service that informs citizens about current topics. From district politics to crises to events and important life support - all the news lands directly from the district office on the user's mobile device.
What’s special about it? Registration goes smoothly! Simply search WhatsApp for “current news” from the Bodenseekreis District Office and subscribe to the channel. This offer is free and at least as flexible as the users themselves - the service can be canceled at any time. Those interested can find the direct link to the WhatsApp service at WhatsApp service Lake Constance district.
The diversity of communication channels
But that's not all! In addition to WhatsApp, other messengers are also available, including Signal, Threema and Telegram. These options address citizens' preferences and ensure that information can be received through various communication channels. Whether via email or as a push message on the smartphone, the Bodenseekreis wants everyone to receive the information in the way that is most convenient.
The services are platform-independent: they work on both iOS and Android devices. While the Threema app has a one-off cost of 3.99 euros, Signal and Telegram can be used without any fees. Users can choose whether they want to receive news immediately, daily or weekly, which means they always stay up to date.
Important information and data protection
However, users should be careful that not all inquiries are answered via the service. This is purely an information offer - questions to the district office cannot be clarified via this channel. There is also a special feature when registering: When using Signal, the number must begin with the corresponding country code to ensure that communication runs smoothly.
The increasing importance of modern means of communication, which is becoming increasingly important in view of the increasing mobility of employees in administration, makes it necessary to handle information in accordance with data protection regulations. The BfDI emphasizes how critical compliance with data protection requirements is. Public bodies are required to meet all requirements of data protection law in order to protect the privacy of their users.
In summary, the Lake Constance District has created a great offer for the citizens with this new WhatsApp service. It remains to be seen how citizens will react to this new form of information provision - but one thing is clear: the step into the digital future has been successfully made!
