WhatsApp Channel: meaning and how it works
Published 1 October 2026
A WhatsApp Channel is a one-way broadcast feed inside WhatsApp that followers join without sharing phone numbers.
See our WhatsApp Channels guide.
How it works in practice
Channels are discoverable through the directory and links. Followers can react but not reply, which keeps the feed clean.
Example
Example: a coaching centre posts timetable changes to its channel.
