New Delhi: WhatsApp has recently unveiled a new feature called "Channels", which is designed to help users stay updated with news and information on the app. This feature will allow users to receive broadcast messages from brands, people, and organizations on WhatsApp.
The Status tab will soon be renamed to "Updates" and will be the new home for both Status and Channels. Users can follow or unfollow a channel and channel admins can restrict who can follow their channel.
