How to create WhatsApp Channel: Meta, the parent company of Facebook has launched ‘WhatsApp Channels’, a new feature that lets users follow and get updates from people and organisations within the app. This is basically a new broadcast tool where admins create a Channel that people can follow to get updates.

What to Know About Creating a WhatsApp Channel

A Channel allows an organization to share one-way updates to an unlimited audience. The channel updates are a one-way broadcast rather than a conversation. Followers can’t reply or interact with channel admins. The updates and information to the followers can be in the form of; Written notes, Images, Videos, Stickers, and Links.

It is the responsibility of the Admins to keep the content of their channels safe, relevant, and age-appropriate for followers.

How to Attract new followers to a WhatsApp Channel

Admins can make their Channels available for people to follow in the following ways:
    1. External link: Admins can share a link to their channel on other websites or apps. The channel and updates will be viewable on WhatsApp.
    2. In-app sharing: Followers can share channels they like with their WhatsApp contacts.
    3. Browsing in the app: WhatsApp users can search for channels or find them by browsing the directory.

Important Things To Keep In Mind about WhatsApp Channels

    • A channel can only have one admin for now.
    • Admins can’t edit updates shared in a channel yet.
    • WhatsApp Channels are being launched gradually and in a limited number of countries, so channel creation isn’t available to everyone yet. 
    • WhatsApp will continue to add new features for channel admins with time.
