Meta Platforms unveiled WhatsApp Channels, a function that the social media behemoth claimed will assist in transforming the app into a “private broadcast messaging product.”
Meta Introduces Broadcast Channels on WhatsApp: The first users to gain access to Channels will be those in Singapore and Colombia. Meta says it will increase the tool’s accessibility for users in more nations over the upcoming months.
The company claimed that users could follow content related to their hobbies, sports teams, announcements from local leaders, and other topics.
Followers would not be able to see the channel administrator’s profile pictures or contact details. Similarly, we will not make the phone numbers of followers public.
The World Health Organisation, FC Barcelona, and Manchester City are among the organizations that will support the feature’s global introduction.
