News & Reviews:   WhatsApp Channels

A few hours ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on his Facebook page that WhatsApp Channels had surpassed 500 million monthly users. For the uninitiated, Channels is a section in the app that helps people get the updates they want from their favourite teams, organizations and people, directly on WhatsApp.

Back in July, WhatsApp Channels was launched in Malaysia to have private broadcasts with your customers or fans. Just a few hours ago, Mark Zuckerberg announced that WhatsApp Channels will finally be rolling out globally with more new channels that people can follow. 

Earlier today, WhatsApp launched its latest feature in Malaysia. Known as WhatsApp Channels, this feature is great for getting important updates from people and organisations. The best part? This feature will be in a new “Updates” tab, away from your private chats.

Sometimes, WhatsApp makes you wonder if it's trying to be another app that does everything. The developers have added all sorts of features over the months. And the next one to be rolled out is one called Channels.
