Update on WhatsApp
Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. Channels can be found in a new tab called Updates on WhatsApp, where you’ll find the Status and channels you choose to follow, separate from your chats with family, friends, and communities. Or my professional experiences, all of which I am susceptible to. I can communicate insights and updates with my devoted audience, fans, and everyone who has continuously demonstrated their support during my journey by using WhatsApp Channels as a personalized newsletter.

Key Features That Will Help You Get Started On WhatsApp Channels
You can find channels to subscribe to that have been automatically filtered depending on your country in the enhanced Directory. In addition, you may view popular, most active, and new channels based on how many people follow them.
Emojis can be used to express your opinions and to keep track of how many others have done so. Followers won’t be able to see how you answer.
When you forward an Update to chats or groups, a link to the channel is also included so people can learn more.
Our goal is to build the most private broadcast service available. This starts by protecting the personal information of both admins and followers. Following a channel will keep your phone number confidential from the admin or other followers. What you decide to consider is your choice, and it’s personal. We believe Channel updates should only stick around for a while. So, we’ll only store channel history on our servers for up to 30 days. Admins will also have the option to block screenshots and forwards from their channels.
Additionally, we’ll allow admins to choose whether they want their channel to be searchable in the Directory and who can follow it.
This is only the beginning; based on user input, we’ll continue developing the Media and adding additional components. We’ll enable anyone to launch a channel in the upcoming months.
To keep you informed about what we’re building, we’ve developed the official WhatsApp Channel if you want to hear more product updates directly from us.
