Meta has announced the launch of WhatsApp Channels, a new private way to receive important updates from people and organizations, right within WhatsApp.
The new feature will roll out to over 150 countries to bring private updates from organizations, sports teams, artists, and thought leaders that users can follow.
In a statement, Meta said: “our goal is to build the most private broadcast service available. Channels are separate from your chats, and who you choose to follow is not visible to other followers. We also protect the personal information of both admins and followers.”
WhatsApp channels which initially started in ten countries is expanding globally.
Meta said it will continue to add more features and expand Channels based on feedback gotten from users.
