You can now keep up with the Indian Cricket team, Katrina Kaif, Diljit Dosanjh, and many others on WhatsApp. They have introduced a cool new feature called “Channels” that lets you get updates from the people and organizations that are important to you. It’s a great way to stay in the loop with your favorite celebrities and teams!
WhatsApp, the app we use to talk to our friends and family, is getting a big update. This new thing they’re adding is called “WhatsApp Channels.” It’s like a new way to use WhatsApp, and it’s not just for talking to people you know. You can use it to stay in touch with famous people, sports teams, and other interesting groups.
With WhatsApp Channels, you can get updates from these groups in a special section called “Updates.” This keeps those messages separate from your regular chats with your friends. This feature will be available all over the world soon, including in India.
Finding these channels to follow is easy. WhatsApp will suggest some based on where you are, and you can also search for them by name or category. You can even see which channels are popular and have lots of followers.
Some famous people and important groups have already started using WhatsApp Channels. For example, you can follow the Indian Cricket team or Bollywood celebrities like Katrina Kaif, Diljit Dosanjh, and Akshay Kumar. Even Mark Zuckerberg has his own channel to share news about Facebook and WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Channels is designed to keep your privacy safe. When you follow a channel, the people running it won’t see your phone number or picture. And they won’t get your phone number when you follow them. Who you choose to follow is your secret, and WhatsApp will only keep the channel’s messages for 30 days.
You can also react to updates with emojis, and no one else will see your reactions. If you want to share an update with your friends, you can send them a link to the channel. And if you ever want to stop following a channel, you can easily mute or unfollow it.
