WhatsApp Channels Available Globally With Updated Features
Initially available in ten countries, Channels are now accessible in over 150 countries, providing a “private way to receive updates that matter to you,” according to Meta. The move aims to diversify the types of content that people can access directly within the app, including updates from organizations, sports teams, artists, and thought leaders.
The Channels feature is distinct from regular chat conversations on WhatsApp. It offers a secure environment where users can follow different channels without revealing their choices to other followers. The company emphasizes privacy, stating that admin’s and followers’ personal information will remain protected.
