WhatsApp is ready to host a function that would bring the platform into the social area: users are eagerly waiting.
WhatsApp users keep getting new features that are changing their experience on the platform. This time, however, the app seems ready to welcome a function that is mainly social networks.
Since its inception, WhatsApp has established itself as a platform that was going to allow two-way communication. With this new feature, however, you will have one unprecedented communication since it will be one-way.
From now on, every WhatsApp user will have the opportunity to use the “Channels“. These would give those using the platform another solution they have never had before. In fact, this feature marks an important and social turning point of the app.
Channels arrive on WhatsApp: here’s how they will work
WhatsApp, especially in the last period, is experiencing a period of profound change. Among the new functions brought to light by the developers we find the channels that will give a different boost to the experience of those who use the app.
The channels that will be featured on WhatsApp are based on the information transmission and, these, are followed by users who are interested. Within channels, one-way communication takes place since users will not be able to comment or interact in any way. In practice, this tool guarantees constant updates on people or companies.
THE channels travel on a different track than normal groups or communities given that the latter two are managed entirely by the users and there is a communication in which everyone can have their say, from the organizers to the normal users. The channels, on the other hand, fall within the scope of official pages that want to divulge their news.
This evolution has led us to think that WhatsApp is ready to become a real social network. The canals, in fact, would be part of a project that would distance itself from the original one. At the moment, Meta has decided that this feature should be tested by a group of users of the platform in Singapore and Colombia. The will, as confirmed by the company, is to bring this feature to all possible countries in the future.
So, apparently the channels will be welcomed on the platform soon. This novelty, however, is not the only one that manages to generate a certain interest, there is also another one that it will only be possible to use within 15 minutes.
