What the new WhatsApp channels are for and how you can create one

Missing a WhatsApp update can mean missing out on a big change in terms of the tools and utilities offered by this instant messaging application, since the pace of WhatsApp news advances at full speed. Recently, a group chat filter was incorporated and one of the biggest complaints from users was finally allowed: sending high-resolution images. But there is also another novelty that everyone is talking about: WhatsApp channels.

One of the latest additions to the functions that this application offers to its users are WhatsApp channels. A one-way transmission tool, as defined by its developers, whose usefulness is that its administrators can send text messages, photographs, videos, surveys or even stickers to all the people who are in them. This news can be found in the “News” section, just below the contact statuses. Once there you can choose the channels you want to follow, or also create one.

It could be said that the channels are a kind of special chat in which to follow all the information related to a particular topic or about famous figures or companies. However, anyone can create and manage their own channel, where they can share whatever they want. Creating a WhatsApp channel will be possible both through the personal application and WhatsApp Business.

The first thing will be to make sure that it is updated to have access to it. If you do not have access to it, there is no reason to worry, since the developers are enabling it little by little.
