“We are pleased to introduce you to WhatsApp Channels, an easy, reliable and private way to receive important news from people and organizations on our platform,” the Meta (Facebook, Instagram) subsidiary announced Thursday. in an online press release. This new feature will first be tested in Singapore and Colombia, before being rolled out to other countries. Users will be able to find the channels that interest them in a separate tab, called “News”, separate from discussions with their contacts and groups. Channel admins won’t be able to add subscribers. They will communicate “one way”, by sending messages, photos, videos, stickers and surveys. Meta said that the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the football teams FC Barcelona and Manchester United will be among the partner organizations. This new service should allow the Californian group to relaunch the ultra-popular messaging system in certain regions of the world (especially in Africa and Latin America) but much less in the United States, in particular. On the security and privacy side, subscribers won’t see the phone numbers of other people in the audience, and their channel choices will be private. Posted content will disappear following 30 days.
