WhatsApp delivered a huge update in 2023 that allowed users to create and join channels inside the app. This was a great feature for creators and administrators since it allowed them to deliver updates to a group of people. It's the perfect tool to deliver instant messages, pictures, videos, and more to every member of the channel.
However, there was no way to create, join, or manage these channels on a linked device. But this is set to change soon, as this ability has been added to the WhatsApp beta version for the coming weeks. This article will tell you how to create and join WhatsApp channels from a linked device.
