Users of WhatsApp may soon have the ability to pin channels.
WhatsApp introduced the Channels feature last year as a one-way tool for sending information and media. Over time, Meta has added a number of new capabilities to make channels a more versatile feature.
Now, WhatsApp is bringing a new update to channels by allowing users to pin them, as reported by WABetaInfo. This feature was spotted in WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.24.4.3 update.
In short, this feature allows you to pin your frequently visited favorite channels to the top of the list. This simplifies access to specific channels, eliminating the need to scroll through the entire list. You can also prioritize them and make sure they’re just a few taps away when you want to see what’s new. Not only does this help you save time when you want to use something quickly, but it also makes the user interface cleaner.
WhatsApp Channels Pinning Feature: When Will It Be Enabled?
This feature is currently under development and will be available in a future version of the app. This means that you have no chance to use it at this time.
In related news, WhatsApp has also introduced the option to include polls in WhatsApp channels. In addition, users can also send voice notes and make up to 16 admins. These features allow WhatsApp channel owners to gauge interest and get real-time feedback on a particular topic or development, which can be quite handy for them.
