whatsapp continues to work on improvements to its platform for the benefit of users. With this, there will soon be a feature that has already been used in other applications, such as Telegram, and is very useful for communities: channels.
As reported WaBetaInformationthis will be the official name with which the bulletins will be implemented in the service, which will allow the delivery of messages ordered in the corresponding tab.
WhatsApp channels: what do we know
channels they will be made available to users as an available and optional feature in the current Status tab, which will now be renamed Updates.
Through channels, people, institutions or organizations can easily exchange information. It can also be used simply to share or search for information of interest, i.e. users will be able to choose who they want to receive news from and follow the broadcasters of their choice directly from whatsapp.
In the window for creating these newsletters, users will be able to customize the basic details of these reports, such as when a group or community is created, such as name, profile picture, and description.
Regarding privacy, channels they do not reveal the user’s phone number or other information. Such details will remain hidden. However, messages received on the channel will not be end-to-end encrypted. This means you won’t have an extra layer of security where no one can read these messages other than the sender and recipient.
“Because this is an optional private messaging extension and does not rely on a public social network, people can always control what channels for those who want to follow, and no one else will be able to see who they are following, regardless of whether they have added them to contacts or not, ”says WaBetaInformation.

In addition channels from whatsapp will support identifiers so that users can search for a specific channel by simply entering their username in the app. This eliminates the need to navigate to external websites.
This tool is still under development and it is not known when it will appear on the official servers.
