Meta introduces a new WhatsApp feature that allows you to send voice messages via WhatsApp channels. This feature and several others are rolling out globally.

WhatsApp Channels are an easy way to receive important updates from people and organizations directly in WhatsApp. Channels are in a separate tab next to your private messages and can be personalized. Meta now adds an additional feature that allows administrators to send voice messages. In addition, the number of administrators increases to sixteen and fans can share channel updates.

Voice messages are extremely popular

The use of voice messages in WhatsApp has increased significantly in recent years. Users quickly recognized the advantages. With a voice message you no longer have to type long messages and can also chat safely from your car. Meta is now bringing this popular tool to WhatsApp channels.

But that’s not the only innovation. WhatsApp also brings surveys to the channels. Channel admins can share polls in chat for followers to respond to. Additionally, WhatsApp now allows sixteen admins and fans to share a channel update as their status. The latest update includes a nod to the messaging service’s Instagram Stories.
