The feature will be available as a separate and optional section within the status tab and will be called "Updates". The status tab will also have a new interface for status updates in the future. One of the best things about the WhatsApp Channel feature is that it will not display users' phone numbers or other personal information to maintain their privacy. However, messages received within a channel will not be end-to-end encrypted, unlike private messages shared in individual or group chats, which are fully protected.

Moreover, users will have full control over which channels they want to subscribe to, and no one will be able to see their subscription list. The company will also support channel handles, allowing users to search for a particular channel by entering their username directly within WhatsApp. This will eliminate the need to navigate to external websites. The WhatsApp Channel feature is expected to revolutionize the way users receive and share information, making the experience smoother and more organized.
