In this video, I break down exactly how WhatsApp Channels work and why they’re different from WhatsApp Groups. Groups are built for back-and-forth conversations where everyone can interact, like a group text. Channels are designed for one-way communication, so people can follow you to get updates, but they can’t reply. That’s what makes channels perfect for businesses, brands, and creators who want a simple way to broadcast news, sales, or announcements to an audience. I show you where to find channels inside WhatsApp (they’re not in Chats—they’re in the Updates section), how to follow channels you like, and how the feed works once you’re in. I also cover a few important details, like the fact that channel posts only stay visible for 30 days, and how to use the bell icon to turn notifications on for new updates. Then I walk through creating your own channel step by step: naming it, adding a description and photo, and sharing your channel link or posting it to your status so people can follow. Once it’s set up, posting is as easy as sending a message—photos, links, promotions—everything broadcasts out to your followers.
