WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the favorite and consolidated messaging applications as it always tries to tweak or update various aspects to attract more users. Now a new update promises to change the states as we know them.

The Meta messaging giant is planning to add a new feature, which would add similar channels to the service offered by Telegram, as published by WABetaInfo.

WhatsApp: what does the new update bring?

WhatsApp’s latest update contains an interesting novelty: users can subscribe to chats without having to share their personal information, such as their phone number or identification.

This option differs from existing communities in that channels have no member limit and users don’t have to meet any requirements to join. They can only view the received multimedia.
