WhatsApp has recently introduced a new feature called “Channels” that allows users to create their own private newsletters and share updates with subscribers directly on the app. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a WhatsApp Channel.
Before we dive into the steps, let’s take a moment to understand what exactly a WhatsApp Channel is. Think of it as a private newsletter on WhatsApp where you can share updates with your subscribers. As a subscriber, you can search for your favorite Channels and receive all updates directly on WhatsApp. One of the key benefits of this feature is the privacy it provides. Other subscribers will not know if you have subscribed to a channel, and your WhatsApp details are hidden from other subscribers and channel administrators.
Now, let’s jump into the steps to create a WhatsApp Channel on different devices.
1. Creating a WhatsApp Channel on Android
