WhatsApp, the popular messaging service owned by Meta, is apparently planning to offer a feature that proposes comparable channels to users, according to WABetainfo.
This update follows the extensively used channels feature, which was introduced in June and allows administrators to distribute a variety of material types like as text messages, photographs, videos, stickers, and polls.
According to WABetaInfo, the forthcoming version will include a feature that recommends similar channels to users who are either following new channels or exploring material from those they already follow.
The proposed list of channels intends to improve the user experience by giving options related to their interests while also ensuring reputable sources, as only verified channels would be recommended.
Importantly, the article states that the recommendations will be based on the thematic similarity of channel material rather than customized algorithms that analyze particular user interests.
This approach is designed to benefit users who are unfamiliar with all accessible channels by presenting a more diverse choice of relevant and entertaining material.
The report also emphasizes the potential benefit this functionality can provide to channel owners by increasing their audience reach. WhatsApp’s goal in proposing similar channels is to contribute to a richer user experience and help channel developers reach a larger and more diversified audience.
