New features and functionalities continue to arrive here, as just a few weeks ago happened with the popular channels. These elements have delighted many users who have already used them for years, or envied them, in the other proposal of this type, Telegram.
Thanks to the aforementioned channels, we have the possibility of subscribing to them to receive publications of all kinds in which we are interested. Here we are referring to football teams, artists, events, online platforms and all types of groups that have created a channel to share their experiences and news with their followers.
From launch on WhatsApp, clearly imitating Telegram, it is very possible that many of you have subscribed to dozens of channels with these characteristics. The truth is that they are growing more and more both in number and content. Hence, the company behind the messaging application, Meta, has made the decision to launch this novelty that many will like.
You already know that this is an application that does not stop receiving updates with new functions, in order to improve our user experience. We tell you all this because now Meta has just launched a new feature that makes direct reference to the channels we mentioned. We are talking about a functionality that is currently being tested in the beta version, see messaging app. This means that it will soon reach the entire world.
This is how WhatsApp improves the use of channels
Specifically, we are referring to a new icon that we will begin to see soon along with some of the publications made on these channels. At that point, perhaps some regular users of this content may wonder the reason for this new pointer. Well, what Meta intends with this novelty is to greatly facilitate us share posts published on channels with our contacts.
It must be taken into account that sharing these messages published by the administrators of the channels we follow was a somewhat cumbersome and annoying task. Aware of all this, now Meta wants to facilitate the process of making those WhatsApp entries with our friends and family in a much more direct way. All we have to do is click on the new icon that will be displayed just below the entry itself. This will give us the opportunity to share it with whoever we want.
It is worth mentioning that the icon we are talking about is represented by two small arrows that will give us direct access to this function. And since its launch, those responsible for the messaging platform want to promote in one way or another the massive use of these channels. Something that they are undoubtedly achieving since the elements that we mention are having enormous success and acceptance among the users of the application.
