A Look At The Capabilities Of The Channel In WhatsApp; Step By Step Copy Of Telegram

The Channel Feature Will Soon Be Added To WhatsApp Messengers so that This Program Will Be One Step Closer To Its Powerful Competitor, Telegram. 

In this article from Gadget News, we will look at the channel’s capabilities, WhatsApp.

Maybe a few years ago, none of the heads of Facebook and WhatsApp could have imagined that one day a Russian messenger could threaten their throne and even force them to copy their competitor’s capabilities to continue playing.

However, now and in 2023, WhatsApp has reached out to Telegram and wants to keep its users satisfied by copying the capabilities of this messenger.

One of the most important features of WhatsApp this year is copying the channel feature from Telegram. Some time ago, we announced in Gadget News that WhatsApp had added the channel feature in the beta version, and now we want to take a close look at this new feature of WhatsApp, which has been in Telegram for years, after a few weeks.

How exactly will the channel functionality in WhatsApp be?

If you don’t feel like reading the rest of this article, know that WhatsApp engineers have gathered all the valuable features of Telegram in the quality of WhatsApp channels, and we are witnessing a complete copy! The ability of WhatsApp channels can finally turn this messenger into an attractive tool for content producers. Of course, due to filtering and problems such as not sending the WhatsApp authentication code in Iran, this feature may not be helpful for many of us Iranians.

WhatsApp secret message

As the published reports show, WhatsApp is currently working on the channel feature, and we may not see this feature being released to the public. In addition, the statuses will also disappear, and a page with the title of updates will replace it. In this section, users can view their favorite channels in addition to viewing statuses.

One of the most important features of WhatsApp channels is not showing your profile. This means that even the admins of WhatsApp channels cannot see your phone number. Showing the phone number was one of the most complicated and stupid problems of WhatsApp in the group’s section, which, fortunately, we will not see again in the channels.

Essential features of the channel in WhatsApp

Although WhatsApp channels are still under development, the new update of the beta version of WhatsApp for the Android operating system shares exciting information with us. You can see 12 new WhatsApp features below.

In WhatsApp channels, we have to wait for a paid tick!

As it is known, tick selling has become one of the best ways to earn money on different platforms. As the new update of the WhatsApp beta version on Android shows, you can distinguish yourself from others by using a green tick on your channel in this messenger. We still don’t know how to get the channel’s green tick due to the lack of public availability of media in WhatsApp, but you can get more information about this by checking the Gadget News website in the future.

The number of followers and the mute option will be a copy of Telegram!

The other two features of WhatsApp channels will be exact copies of Telegram’s original. For example, the number of members or followers of the track will be displayed in large numbers, just like Telegram. For instance, if your channel has 2,583 members, 2.5K will be shown below the channel name.

This is not the end of WhatsApp copies, and upon entering a channel, you may see an option to mute the track in the header section. This feature can be seen in Telegram in the lower part of the screen.

Ability to search and find channels and shortcuts

WhatsApp allows users to make their channels searchable for the general public, and other users can enter without any hassle just by entering the username of each track. In addition to this feature, there will be shortcuts in WhatsApp channels.

Maybe the name of this feature seems attractive, but these shortcuts do not have any exciting features. For example, three shortcuts are accessible in the Channel Info section. These shortcuts allow you to log out, forward the channel, and share it.

Description and ability to mute WhatsApp channels

As expected, WhatsApp allows you to enter information for a track by creating it. This feature is just like channel description in Telegram. Earlier, we talked about the muting part, but this type of muting, which can be seen in the channel info section, allows you to mute notifications.

Telegram security features come to WhatsApp channels!

Another essential feature of WhatsApp channels is directly copied from Telegram. When you create a new track as an admin, you can give users access to the track in two ways. The first method is public, and it will be possible to search and enter the path for all WhatsApp users. Another ed priv method allows you only to have invited people on your way.

As we have already announced, WhatsApp provides users with many security and privacy features. If you join a channel, your information will remain hidden, and other members will not know you are in a rut. Of course, there is a possibility that the admin can see your name, but the number will be hidden for him.

Ability to report inappropriate channels on WhatsApp

Channel members can report one of the posts or the whole track. If the channel users encounter something that conflicts with the WhatsApp rules, they can inform the WhatsApp review team by reporting the messages or the channel. Maybe this topic is not related to this Gadget News article. Still, it is better to know that humans check messages and reporting pages on most platforms. A channel or page’s high number of reports (if it adheres to the forum rules) impacts the package. It cannot be done. In WhatsApp, if the reports are accurate, not only will all the messages and the channel be deleted, but also the members will no longer have access to the channel.

WhatsApp channels will be powerful from the beginning

The development team of WhatsApp Messenger is aware of its weaknesses and knows it should reach Telegram as soon as possible. As you read in this Gadget News article, Meta has many programs for WhatsApp channels and wants to keep its users satisfied by copying features from Telegram.

WhatsApp channels can be one of the most essential features of this messenger in recent years. If there were no news about WhatsApp filtering, the information about adding the channel feature to WhatsApp would probably become a news bomb among Iranian users.

Although the channels alone cannot draw Telegram users to WhatsApp, this shows that Meta has a lot of concerns about the power of Telegram and the migration of its users to this messenger. However, Telegram did not sit idle and announced that it would add essential features in the following updates.

When exactly will the channels be available to all WhatsApp users?

As you know, WhatsApp is currently developing this feature, and the exact time for its release has not been announced. However, if the predictions turn out to be accurate, in the coming months, we should see the release of this feature in one of the stable versions of WhatsApp.

WhatsApp usually does not release much information about a feature before it is released, so the only way for us is to wait and follow the news from different sources. If you want to be the first to know about the latest news in the world of technology, we suggest you follow Gadget News on social networks.
