WhatsApp is working on channels to make it easier to share information, just like it has on Telegram for a long time. The information about the new feature came through the WABetaInfo website, which describes saying that since the beta version 2.23.8.6 of WhatsApp for Android the company has been working on the implementation of channels and now, in version 2.23.10.14 an introduction to the channels has been added .
WhatsApp to launch Channels and change the name of the tabs
In addition to the introduction for Channels in WhatsApp, there have been changes to the name of the app’s tabs. The Status tab will be called “Updates”, which will now have, in addition to “status”, “channels”. Check out the screenshot made by WABetaInfo below how it will look.
How will Channels work on WhatsApp?
With the launch of Channels on WhatsApp, users will be able to stay up to date on any topic of interest. In addition, all the channels that you will follow will be gathered under the “Updates” tab.
It is important to mention that when a channel is created, the user’s privacy will be protected, as the channel’s followers will not be able to see the name, phone number, profile picture or description. In addition, it will be possible to share important information to a group of people with an unlimited number of followers, according to WABetaInfo. However, it is not yet certain whether or not we will have a limit for people who follow a channel.
Release and availability
As the creation of channels is still under development on WhatsApp and the participants of the beta program of the application have not yet “put their hands” on the novelty, it will still take some time until the functionality reaches everyone in the stable version.
