What are WhatsApp channels and how do they work?

Julian Castillo

WhatsApp is innovating once again by rolling out a revolutionary new feature called “Channels”. This feature will allow organizations to establish a new avenue of communication with the public, providing an easier and more direct way to stay in touch.

With WhatsApp Channels, admins will be able to send a variety of content, including text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.. This will give them the opportunity to share relevant information, promotions, updates and much more with their audience in a convenient and effective way.

A prominent feature of Channels is that users will be able to join them via an invite link.. This means that organizations will be able to spread the link through their different communication channels, such as social networks, emails or websites, allowing interested parties to join quickly and without complications.

However, WhatsApp also has plans to make it even easier to search and discover different Channels.. They are creating a directory where users will be able to explore a wide range of available Channels, from specific hobbies to sports teams to local officials. This will open up new opportunities for people to find and join Channels relevant to their interests.

One important feature to be mentioned is that messages sent through Channels will be automatically deleted after 30 days.. This ensures privacy and efficient management of shared information, while encouraging more up-to-date and relevant communication.

In the words of Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp: “Today we are announcing WhatsApp channels, a private way to follow the people and organizations that matter to you, directly within WhatsApp. We will start in Singapore and Colombia, but will expand to all of them later this year.. We are creating channels to be the most private way to communicate. As a channel admin, your phone number won’t be shown to followers, and following a channel won’t show it to the admin or other people who follow the channel.”

With this new Channels feature, WhatsApp is taking a step forward in its goal of improving communication and providing new tools for organizations to connect with their audience.. Channels will provide organizations with a powerful platform to share content, engage with their audiences and build relationships, all within a private and secure environment.
