WhatsApp swiftly launched a new feature to the app on Wednesday called Channels. It’s similar to Telegram’s feature which allows you to follow celebrities or influencers. It’s a quick update platform now integrated and available in the Meta-owned text-messaging app.
Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg shared this update via his Instagram broadcast channel writing, “Today we’re starting to roll out WhatsApp Channels globally and adding thousands of new channels that people can follow in WhatsApp. You can find Channels in the new ‘Updates’ tab.”
