Get Aberdeenshire news straight to your pocket—on your terms

Stay in the loop—on your terms—with local news, important information, and service updates for anyone who lives, learns, works, or visits Aberdeenshire. 

Follow Aberdeenshire Council’s new WhatsApp Channel: Aberdeenshire latest news – updates from your local council. 

WhatsApp Channels are designed with privacy in mind. We share text updates, photos, videos, and polls—exclusively in the "Updates" tab—separate from your personal chats. 

No one sees your number, name, or any of your details. There are no chats or comments, no clutter, and no pressure. Your privacy. Your control.   

Use emojis to react to content. Notifications are off unless you want them—check in whenever you like or tap the bell icon if you want to be notified of something new.  

For local updates in a non-intrusive and private way, simply scan the QR code and follow the Channel. Or—if you are reading this on your phone—head here: Aberdeenshire latest news - updates from your local council.
