Social networking giant Meta has emphasised the autonomy of Channels, ensuring that the identities of followers remain confidential to one another. These Channels serve as a tool for unidirectional broadcasting, allowing administrators to share various content types, including text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls, all while protecting the privacy of both administrators and followers. Much like Instagram Broadcast channels, WhatsApp Channels users can respond to updates and share feedback using emojis. The total count of reactions will be visible, but the specific reactions from administrators will remain confidential.
