“Channels” has been a very popular feature offered by WhatsApp’s rival, Telegram.
What are Channels?
After the update, WhatsApp users can use the search tab to find specific channels on the platform, much like Telegram.
The WABetaInfo report added that “Channels” on WhatsApp will be similar to Telegram. Furthermore, the update will be initially made available only to beta users of the platform.
The “Channels” feature allows users to reach a larger audience, which is why celebrities, enterprises, and influencers prefer Telegram. Additionally, the feature on Telegram does not have an upper limit on the number of users that can join a channel.
The feature will be useful to broadcast content, information, and news to many followers who join a particular channel.
WhatsApp’s “Channels” feature comes with measures to safeguard privacy. Information about users will be hidden, including phone numbers.
