Let’s keep the connection alive here! Here’s a picture from the new Parliament Building…,” which garnered approximately 1,42,000 reactions from users.
WhatsApp’s initiative to introduce Channels
WhatsApp’s initiative to introduce Channels as a global one-way broadcast medium with emoji reactions has been embraced by several well-known figures, including celebrities like Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar, and the Indian Cricket Team.
WhatsApp Channels provide a unique method for receiving updates without cluttering your regular chats. Users can follow various channels of interest, such as sports teams or celebrities, with personal chats and channels kept separate and private.
Key features of Channels
Key features of Channels include an enhanced directory for easier channel discovery, emoji reactions for expressing feelings, editable updates for channel admins within a 30-day window, and the ability to share updates with friends or groups, along with a link back to the channel for others to explore.
This innovative feature offers a promising platform for public figures and organizations to connect with their audience effectively and foster ongoing interactions.
