Let’s start with: What are WhatsApp Channels?
Meta says it best: “Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.” Simple.
What does that look like exactly? Well to be honest it’s much like the status feature we already know from Instagram. Every since launch it’s now possible to view WhatsApp channels of sports clubs, shops and businesses you follow and to watch their updates. And to get there, customers can search a directory, or get invited via a link sent to them.
The benefits of WhatsApp Channels for customers
Users will experience the power of convenience. WhatsApp introduces Channels, as a personal space for customers to receive information from sources they trust. This means that people no longer have to search the web or social media for updates on their interests.
Instead WhatsApp Channels, in a dedicated 'Updates' tab, offer a one-way stream of news, insights, and more, without mixing them with private chats. Curious about what kind of content you can send? Hold tight, as we unveil the endless possibilities.
Infinite, personalized content: From hobbies and sports teams to updates from local authorities, Channels offers a plethora of content tailored to customers. Fancy being a part of a cooking Channel or staying updated with your favorite football team? The choices are plenty.
Privacy: Channels guarantee privacy by not disclosing the phone numbers of admins and followers. Whether you’re an admin or a follower, customers can be sure that their identity remains concealed.
Encrypted Channels: Like all WhatsApp messages, the channels are encrypted. As WhatsApp acknowledges privacy and security concerns.
Dynamic updates: WhatsApp won’t get cluttered. Channel updates vanish from WhatsApp’s servers in 30 days, and admins can make them disappear faster from a device.
Public or Private? Your Call!: Businesses, as in all admins, have the flexibility to choose who follows their channel and whether they want it discoverable in the directory.
