Notes:

  • WhatsApp Channels is rolling out globally, but it's gradually being made available to all users; not everyone has access yet.
  • Channels are a one-way broadcast feature, where followers can react with emojis but can't directly reply to you.
  • Channels are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Remember, updates are a key part of the app, and some features may be made available gradually.
