The WhatsApp Channels feature has soared past 500 million active monthly users, boasting various famous figures like Diljit Dosanjh, Katrina Kaif, and Allu Arjun among its most sought-after channels.
This function permits users to acquire updates from organizations, teams, and individuals they follow. Notably, these channels differ from normal private chats, maintaining privacy by keeping the following channels invisible to others. Recently, Meta, the owner of WhatsApp, introduced Stickers to augment the channel experience.
Mark Zuckerberg took to his WhatsApp Channel to announce the milestone, celebrating 500 million users active monthly within seven weeks of the feature's launch. The feature was initially introduced to Indian WhatsApp users in September and has garnered significant traction.
Zuckerberg was enthusiastic, stating, "The WhatsApp Channels have reached 500 million monthly activities in just the first 7 weeks. It's fantastic to witness such high engagement from the WA community!"
Eminent channels include those belonging to the International Cricket Council, Indian Cricket Team, Mumbai Indians, and high-profile personalities such as Katrina Kaif, Diljit Dosanjh, Allu Arjun, Chef Ranveer Brar and Vijay Deverakonda.
If you still need clarification about what WhatsApp channels are, let's discuss.
These channels offer users a means to get updates from specific entities, distinct from regular chats. Moreover, the checklist of the following channels remains concealed from others.
The recent introduction of Stickers, especially on WhatsApp channels, has garnered attention. Admins of the channels have found this feature a compelling way to engage with their followers uniquely.
Renowned figures like celebrity chef Ranveer Brar and singer Diljit Dosanjh have endorsed the effectiveness of these Channels. Diljit Dosanjh shared, "My WhatsApp Channel is like a genuine, personal space where I connect with my fans. It's akin to sharing significant moments of my life, much like chatting with friends and family. Whether unveiling a new song, an exciting collaboration or just sending a simple good morning message, WhatsApp Channels lets me express myself and stay closely connected to my community of fans."
The International Cricket Council updates the live Cricket World Cup, while the MLB World Series offers a behind-the-scenes peek. Similarly, artists like Maluma and Sebastian Yatra engage with followers via location-based interactions and exclusive announcements.
WhatsApp is committed to expanding and refining Channels as per users' feedback. Additionally, they've launched an official WhatsApp Channel to keep users up-to-date on product updates and future features.
