WhatsApp's new Channels feature lets accounts send one-way updates to followers

WhatsApp has launched a new feature called Channels that makes it much more like a social media app, the Meta-owned company announced . It allows accounts to send one-way broadcasts to followers in the form of text, photos, videos, stickers and polls, much as you can with an app like Twitter. Broadcasting accounts can decide who's allowed to follow their channel, whether they want it to be discoverable and more.
