Meta launches WhatsApp Channels, which seems a bit like Twitter

The artist formerly known as Facebook has created a way for people to follow and get updates from other accounts through the WhatsApp messaging service.
The new feature is called Channels and is described as ‘a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.’ So you find a Channel to subscribe to and then receive stuff the owner of that channel sends out. In that respect it seems pretty similar to social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
