The ability to view channels is under development.
The company is working on implementing various channel features to provide the best possible experience to the users once the channel is launched.
Meta-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that will allow Android users to broadcast channel conversations with 12 new features. This feature is currently under development and is expected to be available to beta testers in an upcoming update of the app.
According to WABetaInfo, the company is working on implementing various channel features to provide the best possible experience to the users once the channel is released.
These features include a full-width messaging interface, verification status, follower count, mute notification button, handle, actual follower count, shortcut, channel description, mute notification toggle, visibility status, privacy, and reporting in the conversation.
The report also states that these features show the company’s commitment to providing a variety of features for users to explore and use, while also making it easier for them to manage channels.
Apart from the broadcast channel conversation feature, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature called “Admin Review” on Android. This feature will provide group admins with tools to help them moderate their groups better.
When this feature is enabled, group members will be able to report specific messages to the group’s admin. If an admin finds a message inappropriate or violates the group rules, they can choose to delete it for everyone in the group when a member reports it.
WhatsApp is constantly working on new features to enhance the user experience and provide more security and privacy. The messaging platform recently introduced multi-device support, which allows users to use their accounts on multiple devices simultaneously.
The new feature now allows users to link a second phone as one of four additional devices, just like when you link to WhatsApp on web browsers, tablets and desktops. Whether it’s an iPhone or an Android phone, each linked phone connects to WhatsApp independently, ensuring that personal messages, media and calls are end-to-end encrypted.
