WhatsApp has begun the global deployment of its new ‘Channels’ functionality, new spaces that, in the style of other messaging ‘apps’ such as Telegram, serve as a platform through which to stay up to date with the news that organizations or individuals publics share with followers and interested parties. The technology company presented the channels in June, a novelty with which users of the messaging application can transmit information unidirectionally to large groups of users and receive the latest news from people and organizations directly in the ‘app’ and in a private.

Martínez The channels were first launched in ten countries, including Colombia, Chile, Morocco and Peru, with the intention of taking them to the rest of the world. Specifically, the ‘app’ announced in a statement shared by ABC that it now reaches more than 150 countries, and that Spain is among them. In this way, users based on national soil will be able to start using the Channels in the coming days, when the update that adds the functionality is available on their smartphones. The company has announced that there are already a handful of interesting channels that they can join, such as that of the National Cybersecurity Institute (Incibe), Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, ​​Unicef ​​or Netflix. WhatsApp has highlighted the privacy measures that accompany the channels, since they are independent of users’ chats, in which they maintain conversations with their contacts, and they do not show other followers of a channel who users choose to follow. . “This is just the beginning. We will continue to add more features and expand channels based on the feedback we receive from users. In the coming months, we will also allow anyone to create a channel,” they stated from the application. In order to locate a channel, the platform has filters by country, although it also shows the newest, most popular and the most active. You can react to them with emojis, although the rest of your followers will only see the count of these elements and not the person who selected them.
