Features of WhatsApp channels
The functions available for the channels of WhatsApp are the following:

- verification status: Channels can be checked and are marked with the green checkmark icon. However, the process for requesting verification remains unclear. We will have to wait for the official WhatsApp FAQ to learn more regarding the verification process.

- Identifiers: channel media identifiers display channel information.
- Actual Follower Count: the exact number of people following a channel can be found on the channel info screen. This count provides the true representation of the channel’s followers, as opposed to the approximation mentioned above.
