WhatsApp has recently unveiled its new "WhatsApp Channels feature" in India and various other countries.

[{"selector":"#anim-a69fc3c5-fdc7-4c1d-b116-a9ea1b0438ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-9.23665339848293%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e986f7f-d339-4609-8ddb-db0954ed9897","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c1ecd0e-ee98-4861-b4d7-3ad34e517899","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.5934%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Although WhatsApp Channels has initiated its rollout, it isn't accessible to everyone at this point.

[{"selector":"#anim-35fdb371-8137-4675-8c6a-28d78de33cfe [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ba34ece-d6d8-47ae-9e55-d4aa783b9b97","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d3a5720-4153-4ec1-b354-d43f658eaef1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.5934%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Certain functionalities, such as channel creation, may not yet be accessible to some users.

[{"selector":"#anim-6ec82606-3935-4719-bac9-5525528741c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fbb81cc5-b2e8-42b7-9dff-83655721f9b2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f9aa9fb-95d5-4570-8ddb-9d5798fd910d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.5934%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This functionality closely resembles the "Broadcast channel feature" found on Instagram.

Channels serve as a one-way broadcasting tool that enables administrators to share text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.

To locate channels, head to a new tab labeled "Updates" within WhatsApp, where you'll discover Status updates and the channels you opt to follow.
