there are tons of cool whatsapp tips and tricks that you can use to make your life easier. there is no doubt that whatsapp is an incredibly powerful communication tool in the contemporary world and now, with the introduction of channels, they are really taking it a step further. much like telegram channels, whatsapp channels help you stay up to date with your favorite creators, celebrities, companies, and yes, you get the idea. This guide is meant to give you a complete idea of what whatsapp channels are as well as provide practical insights on how to get the most out of this newly launched feature. So, let's get into it!

if you are a telegram user, you have an idea of how the concept of "channel" works. WhatsApp has taken a somewhat similar approach to implementing a channel feature in its messaging app. WhatsApp channels are one-way broadcasting tools to reach out to many subscribers or followers at once. this allows administrators to quickly disseminate information to an unlimited number of people at once. followers can react to messages but not send any messages in channels.

back in june whatsapp announced that "channels" would soon be coming to the platform, and a couple of days ago the feature finally went global. you can now use the whatsapp channels feature in all its glory, whether you are a content creator or a general user. the ability to create channels is also rolling out, but it still appears to be limited to select users.

till now you were probably used to seeing status tab on whatsapp right? Well, that has changed and the "status" tab has been replaced with an "updates" tab. when you go to updates you will see the status section at the top. just below the status section is the new channel section. this is different from whatsapp communities that were added to the app earlier this year.
