WhatsApp unveiled new feature called 'Channels'
Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.
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.
This feature will initially be available to select organizations in Colombia and Singapore and will later roll out to other countries worldwide. Channels will also allow users to create private spaces to connect and share information while protecting user privacy.
The app plans to add more ways for admins to make updates disappear quickly from followers' devices and decide who can follow/channel discoverability. The feature may be monetized through integration with WhatsApp Payments.
