WhatsApp Channels now allow channel admins or owners to send voice messages to members.

In addition to this, polls can now be initiated within channels. This feature, which will soon be available to everyone, seems quite useful for gathering collective opinions on specific topics and has been requested for a long time.

COMING TO WHATSAPP WEB IN THE COMING MONTHS

The company, which now allows up to 16 different admins to be assigned to channels, also enables users to share channel content as status updates. The company, which has been beta testing these features for a long time, is preparing to introduce other innovations to its users soon. For example, another feature found to be on the way today had also made an impact; the ability to "Silence unknown callers" is currently offered on iOS and Android, and according to information released in the last few hours, it will also be available on WhatsApp Web in the coming months.

"PROTECTION" STATEMENT

The company states the following regarding the infrastructure:

“Silence Unknown Callers is designed to give you more privacy and control over your incoming calls. It helps to automatically filter out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people for increased protection. These calls will not ring on your phone, but will be visible in your Calls list, just in case it turns out to be someone important.”
