WhatsApp is one of those social apps that you can expect to be constantly evolving, and the latest beta update for Android is no exception. Available through the Google Play Beta Program, this update offers a sneak peek into several features aimed at making content sharing on WhatsApp Channels smoother and more efficient.
Building on recent updates that simplified forwarding channel updates, WhatsApp is now exploring ways to make it easier for channel owners to share a wider variety of content directly from their personal chats. This means users will soon be able to forward messages, photos, videos, and GIFs directly to their channels without the time-consuming workaround of saving and uploading content separately.
While the full rollout of these features is still to be determined, the beta update indicates WhatsApp intends to roll this potential very soon. However, as with any beta version, these features may undergo further refinement before being made available to the wider user base. That said, the potential benefits that this feature brings for both channel owners and followers is clear.
