Recently, the Mita company is striving to add features and develop the WhatsApp application, as during 2023 it released many features that users have been calling for for years, the most important of which is sending images in HD quality. and silencing unknown callers And others, a while ago Mita introduced the feature of WhatsApp channels. Follow along with us and we will share with you all the information about WhatsApp channels and how you can use them?
What is the advantage of WhatsApp channels?
- WhatsApp channels provide a one-way way, through which moderators will be able to send updates such as messages, photos, and videos to followers.
- The important thing here is that the data of all parties is safe, that is, the followers cannot know the number or the profile picture of the channel admin, and the followers cannot view the numbers or profile pictures of other followers.
- But for example, admins can see your profile name and photo according to your privacy settings.
- Many channels have appeared during the recent period, and most of them were owned by football clubs such as Real Madrid and Liverpool, in addition to channels belonging to non-profit organizations such as the “World Health Foundation”.
- If you have the latest version of WhatsApp, you will be able to use the channels with ease.
How can you get the WhatsApp channels feature?
WhatsApp channels are only available with the latest update of the application, so:
- Open an app App Store Or App Store.
- Find WhatsApp.
- Click on the word Update, if you do not find it, you have the latest version of the application.
- After updating the version of WhatsApp on your phone, you can now search for the channels you want through the tab that was previously called Status.
FAQ
What countries are WhatsApp channels available in?
So far, the WhatsApp channels feature is available in Ukraine, Malaysia, Peru, Kenya, and as for the Arab world, the feature is available in Egypt and Morocco so far.
Are WhatsApp channels encrypted?
The channels are not fully encrypted between the moderators and followers, unlike private messages in which the encryption is complete between the two parties, and the justification came from Meta that the moderators have the ability to specify the audience that can follow the channels, and it is possible that fully encrypted channels are available in cases such as affiliate channels for non-profit organisations.
Will your number appear in the WhatsApp channels?
The answer is no. Mita stresses on every occasion the importance of respecting the privacy of followers. The answer is no. With regard to your phone number or profile picture, it will not appear either to followers or to moderators. As for moderators, they have the same privacy conditions, and no one will be able to view the phone number or profile picture. Personal.
What is the difference between groups and channels in WhatsApp?
Each of these features has a purpose other than the other. Here's the difference between them:
- WhatsApp channels are intended for channel owners and moderators to communicate with followers by sending texts, pictures or video clips.
- As for communities, they enable those responsible for organizing related groups on topics.
- The number allowed in the communities is 100 groups in one community, on the contrary, the followers in one channel on WhatsApp are not limited.
- I see that the channels represent greater benefits, and they can increase your information on a daily basis in the field that you love and are very organized compared to the communities on WhatsApp.

The supervisor's phone number cannot be hidden from the rest
Hi Boussif 🙋♂️ Actually, the admin phone number cannot be hidden from the members in the traditional WhatsApp group chats. But with the WhatsApp Channels feature, the admin data (including the phone number) is completely hidden from the followers. I hope this information is useful to you! 😊📱

The topic has become disturbing and now you are stealing the Telegram
Also, the account settings have become unusual. The settings manager needs specialization
Welcome Arkan 🙋♂️, it seems that Meta is trying to maintain its competitiveness in the market by adopting some ideas from other applications. But, let's not forget that this is a common thing in the world of technology where developers are always inspired by each other. Regarding account settings, the constant development and increasing additions may make things a little complicated, but something new always takes some time to get used to 😅👍🏻.
Thanks for the great article 🌹
God bless you Praise be to Allaah
It is strange about this planet.. I mean, Telegram has had this feature for a long time.. and it is more secure and has very nice features.. and yet WhatsApp is still dominant 🤔
Hello Omar! 😄 There is no doubt that Telegram had the lead in the channels feature, but remember that each application has its own character and audience. WhatsApp is always trying to develop to provide the best services to its users, and what is new in this update is the channels feature that seeks to improve communication between supervisors and followers. The planet is really strange, but with every strangeness comes a new one! 🌍🚀
Right
Thank you Phone Islam, can a WhatsApp user browse the content that was not shown to him before following the channel? Should he make a backup copy in order to preserve the messages of the channels he follows?
Hello Islam 🙋♂️, As for browsing the content that did not appear to you before you followed the channel, unfortunately this is not possible at the present time. Regarding making a backup, the messages you receive from the channels you follow will be stored in your chats like any other message, and therefore will be included in backups if you set this feature up. 📱💾
There is something that was not mentioned in the article, which is the possibility of forwarding messages from channels, so that the owner of the channel gets a greater number of followers, does this possibility really exist?
Hello Sultan Muhammad 😊, regarding the possibility of forwarding messages from channels in WhatsApp, this possibility is not available at present. WhatsApp works differently from other applications such as Telegram, where the focus is more on privacy. So redirection may violate users' privacy. 📵🔐
Telegram preceded them by years, but surprisingly, it did not enjoy the propaganda of WhatsApp
Hello Ali Al-Omrani 👋🏼, Yes, it is true, Telegram had the lead in the channels feature, but it seems that WhatsApp has finally decided to introduce this feature. I believe that the publicity that WhatsApp receives is related to its popularity and greater spread among users. Looks like the apple 🍏 has fallen a little farther from the tree this time 😅!
I hope that a detailed article will be created about the side loading feature in iOS, and when it is expected to be added, and if it is added, what is it expected to be?
Hello Sultan Muhammad 😊, Unfortunately, we do not have any official information from Apple about the sideloading feature in iOS. But if added, it is expected that this feature will allow users to install applications outside the App Store. Please follow the blog for any updates on this topic 📱🚀.
When will new countries be supported with the Channels feature?
Hello Sultan Muhammad 🙋♂️, Unfortunately, we do not have specific information about when new countries will be supported with the channels feature in WhatsApp. But stay tuned, if there is any update in this regard, you will be the first to know! 🍏🌍📲
I certainly think it is a very, very, very excellent feature, and I would like to follow technical news. Do you remember when I told you in a previous comment that I would like to know a detailed overview of the channels? And here you are fulfilling your promise. Thank you.
