WhatsApp to Introduce Feature Allowing Channel Owners to Appoint Multiple Administrators

WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging service owned by Meta, is reportedly working on a new feature that will empower channel owners to appoint additional administrators to their channels. This upcoming functionality was uncovered in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.23.7 update, available on the Google Play Store, as per information from WABetaInfo.

The feature will enable channel owners to invite administrators to their channels via a new option within the channel details page, as per the reports.

Even though this feature is still in development, it is poised to become a valuable tool for channel management, as it will allow channel owners to select trustworthy individuals to help with content sharing and overall channel management, according to WABetaInfo.

Crucially, the identities of these channel administrators will remain confidential, hidden from channel followers. The potential to invite additional administrators becomes particularly beneficial as a channel's size and activity grow.

By introducing new administrators, channels can enhance their efficiency and content output by ensuring regular updates. This feature is especially valuable for promptly sharing breaking news stories, as it facilitates real-time contributions from multiple reporters and editors. WhatsApp channels serve as a means to distribute news updates and engage with readers.

In a forthcoming app update, channel owners will have the capability to add more administrators, offering enhanced management and collaboration options.
