WhatsApp's Channels feature is a way for its massive user base to get updates on the platform from their favorite organizations and people. Whether you want to keep up to date with your favorite sports team or get the latest updates from your local authorities, WhatsApp is a great way to do so without revealing your number to channel admins or other followers.
In case you are not aware of this feature, we show you how to find and follow channels on WhatsApp to help you make the most of this feature.
How to find the channel on WhatsApp
WhatsApp started its channel feature in June 2023. Since its launch, there are many channels on WhatsApp that you can follow. But not every channel will be everyone's favorite. In such a situation, we will tell you how you will be able to find your favorite channel.
For this, first open WhatsApp and tap on Updates (formerly known as Status).
Under the Updates tab, next to Find channels, select See All.
If you don't already have a followed channel, select the Find Channels button at the bottom.
WhatsApp will take you to a dedicated directory page where you can see different channels that you can follow.
Browse the list to find a channel that might pique your interest.
Channels sort this list by popularity by default.
You can tap on the sort button at the top right for easy searching.
Also, use the search button at the top to find channels easily.
Update tab with channel feature in WhatsApp
Apart from using the in-built search feature to find WhatsApp channels, you can also find invite links from your organizations on their social media.
You should not rely solely on WhatsApp's search directory to find channels as not all channels will be listed there. WhatsApp empowers channel admins to decide whether their channel should be searchable in the directory or not.
