WhatsApp, the world’s most popular instant messaging application, announced the newest feature to come to the application through its official website. This new feature, called “WhatsApp Channels”, will soon reach all users.
So what are the newest features in WhatsApp? In this content, in addition to the WhatsApp Channels feature, we will take a closer look at the latest features that have come to the application in the recent past.
Introducing WhatsApp Channels!
The new feature that WhatsApp announced today, has actually been available on Telegram for a while. The WhatsApp Channels feature, which comes across as a one-way communication tool, will offer an experience where only administrators can send text, photos and videos. In addition, WhatsApp’s features such as surveys will be available on WhatsApp Channels. The feature will allow users to only follow channels within their interests. This new feature will provide some advantages to users.
As part of the WhatsApp Channels feature, your phone number will not be shared with the other party, whether you are a manager or a follower. Thus, user privacy will be protected. However, messages sent through WhatsApp Channels will not have end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp states that this may come in the future. Once the feature is available, we will see WhatsApp Channels under the Status page.
The WhatsApp Channels feature can actually be thought of as bulletin boards!
To explain the WhatsApp Channels feature concretely; For example, if we open a WhatsApp Channel as the Webtekno team, we can publish daily developments through this channel, just like our news and content. You can follow these developments instantly by joining our channel. However, you cannot comment on our posts. For this, you will again need to use our website or mobile applications.
According to the statement made by WhatsApp, the new feature is currently available in several countries. The company will expand the availability of the feature after making sure everything is working fine. As a matter of fact, we will be using the WhatsApp Channels feature in a few months.

Message editing feature comes to WhatsApp
The latest innovation to WhatsApp is the message editing feature. Users will be able to edit any message on WhatsApp thanks to this feature. When a message is edited, a small notification about the edit will also be made.
Chat lock feature has arrived
In its latest announcement, WhatsApp introduced a new feature where you can lock your chat messages. With the chat lock feature, you will be able to lock any message you want. Access to messages will only be possible with Face ID or Touch ID. Hidden messages will be displayed as a separate tab, just like archived messages.
If the protection is attempted incorrectly several times, the chat will eventually be unlocked only by “deleting all old messages”. In this way, all your messages that you want to be kept private will now be truly private.
