About creating a WhatsApp Channel

Create a channel to use WhatsApp to share updates and information with your current followers and connect with new ones. With a channel, you can share one-way updates to an unlimited audience.

Share updates and information with your followers

Use your channel to share things like:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Videos
  • Stickers
  • Links

While some features might feel familiar to WhatsApp chats, channel updates are a one-way broadcast rather than a conversation. Followers can’t reply directly to updates or send messages to channel admins. Instead they can show their interest in a channel’s content by adding emoji reactions to channel updates or voting on polls.

Updates are sent from your channel, which is in a separate part of the app away from chats and calls. Followers won’t see your WhatsApp profile name, picture, or your phone number.

You’re responsible for keeping the content on your channel safe, relevant, and age-appropriate for your followers,

Attract new followers

People can find your channel several ways.

External link: Share a link to your channel on other websites or apps. Your channel and updates will be viewable in WhatsApp.

In-app sharing: Followers can share channels they like with their WhatsApp contacts.

Browsing in the app: WhatsApp users can search for channels or find them by browsing the directory.
