Last year, WhatsApp introduced channels — a convenient way to keep up with news outlets, famous individuals, and other broadcasters. The feature lives in the messaging app itself and acts like a one-sided conversation, where users can only read and react to announcements with emojis. To make discovering relevant channels easier, WhatsApp is launching a dedicated directory that users can browse through.
WhatsApp announced today that it’s launching a directory of channels that categorizes them based on their topics. You can explore channels associated with the following categories: People, Organizations, Lifestyle, Sports, Entertainment, Businesses, and News & Information.
