The newest WhatsApp feature, called “channels,” has been introduced in Pakistan. This feature enables users to privately follow specific topics, similar to how it works on the messaging app Telegram.
Originally launched in a handful of countries, it has now gone global, now available in Pakistan.
What are Whatsapp channels?
Think of channels as dedicated spaces where you can share updates and content with a wide audience.
It’s different from the old Broadcast Lists that send messages individually.
How to use channels
You can find channels under the “Updates” tab on WhatsApp. It’s a place where you can see Status updates and discover new channels.
Creating your own channel
While not everyone can create their channel right away, some in Pakistan are already doing it.
For most of us, it’s a feature that will come gradually.
