WhatsApp has announced several new features aimed at enhancing the functionality and interactivity of its Channels. These updates offer new tools for admins and provide a better content experience for followers.
Key Features Now Available on WhatsApp Channels
Video Notes for Channels:
Admins can now share short video notes, up to 60 seconds, directly with their followers. This works like video notes in personal chats and offers a quick, efficient way to share visual updates without uploading full videos.
Voice Message Transcripts:
Voice updates now come with transcripts, letting followers read the content instead of listening. It’s ideal for users in quiet environments or when using headphones isn’t possible.
QR Codes for Easy Sharing:
Each Channel now supports a unique QR code. Admins can use this to promote their Channel more easily across platforms, improving reach and discovery.
Admin Events Panel:
WhatsApp has introduced a centralized panel to help admins view recent activity such as posts, edits, or moderation steps. This tool streamlines Channel management.
Expanded Emoji Reactions:
Followers now have more emoji options to react to Channel posts. This update makes responses more expressive and personalized.
Global Rollout in Progress
These features reflect WhatsApp’s push to evolve Channels into a powerful one-way communication tool for creators, businesses, and public figures. The update is being rolled out gradually and will be available across Android and iOS devices worldwide.
