What are WhatsApp channels?

WhatsApp launched its channels in June 2023. The feature means WhatsApp works more like a social network than a conversation, replicating some of the functions of a news feed, similar to those found on other Meta apps, such as Instagram and Facebook.

Channels mean users can follow people and organisations, who can then send out updates. WhatsApp described it as a “private broadcast service” – an account focused on travel updates might send a post to all of its followers informing them of delays, for instance.

It is the latest feature that expands the functions of WhatsApp beyond the conversations and group chats it is well known for. It follows the introduction of ‘communities’, which means an organisation, such as a school, can gather together people and chat under one umbrella.
