Meta’s popular messaging app WhatsApp has delighted users by introducing a YouTube-style channel feature.

According to foreign media reports, WhatsApp has announced that it has rolled out the channel feature for users in 150 countries, which will be fully restored in the coming weeks.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the feature through his WhatsApp channel. “I am happy to introduce channel feature, now users will be able to follow channels of their favorite people and organizations to get updated information, starting my own channel to share information about meta,” he said. .

The highlight of this feature is that no one else will know about the channels followed by the user and thus the channel operator will not have access to the user’s phone number or other information.

In the coming weeks, users will have a directory to search for channels based on country.

When users share an update from a channel to a group or individual, a link to the channel is included
