The difference between a broadcast channel and a group on Instagram lies in how communication works and the type of accounts that can create them. In a broadcast channel, only the creator can send updates, like messages, photos, or videos, and followers can react or reply to individual messages. However, they can’t start a group conversation or interact with others in the channel. Broadcast channels are available only to accounts with at least 10,000 followers and a Creator account.
In a group, everyone can send messages and take part in discussions, making it more interactive. Instagram groups are open to all account types, whether personal, business, or creator, making them accessible for more collaborative and informal conversations.
