LONDON: Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has unveiled an ambitious expansion plan for WhatsApp Channels, encompassing more than 150 countries. This strategic move aims to bolster user engagement across Meta’s array of platforms.
WhatsApp Channels introduce a broadcast service that allows users to receive exclusive updates from a variety of sources, including celebrities, sports teams, and influential thought leaders. Unlike traditional chats, followers within these channels remain invisible to each other, ensuring privacy and personalized content delivery.
The enhanced WhatsApp Channels experience offers users the convenience of discovering recommended channels based on their geographic location and popularity. Additionally, users can express their reactions to channel messages using emojis, fostering an interactive and engaging environment.

This expansion rollout of WhatsApp Channels is set to occur globally in the upcoming weeks and months, providing access to the feature for anyone with a WhatsApp account. The introduction of the ability to create channels within the app is expected to empower users and content creators alike, facilitating meaningful connections and fostering a more dynamic user experience.
Meta’s expansion of WhatsApp Channels underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing its platform offerings and enriching the user experience by introducing innovative features that cater to the diverse needs and interests of its global user base.
