WhatsApp Introduces Channels: What Is It And How To Create One

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has launched its new feature ‘Channels’, a one-way platform for sharing updates with the followers. This comes more than a year after the company had rolled out the Communities feature.

A WhatsApp channel can be used to share updates and information to an unlimited audience. The information can be shared through text, images, videos, stickers and links.

Channels are found in a new tab called Updates - where you’ll find Status and channels you choose to follow - separate from your chats with family, friends, and communities.
