What are WhatsApp Channels?

Meta launched this feature as a private way of following the topics you care about. Privacy is key: a channel’s members can’t see who else is following, and neither can the admins. Your profile information and interactions, like emoji reactions and poll votes, aren’t visible to anyone. Nobody can see your name, phone number, or profile picture.

Clicking on a Channel doesn’t automatically subscribe you to it. You can browse before you follow, and you can unfollow it at any time.

Channels with a verified badge by their names have been verified by WhatsApp. The Buenos Aires Herald holds this badge. Keep an eye out for it to make sure you’re following us.
