WhatsApp to allow Channel Admins to share invite links with contacts on iOS

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature for iOS that will allow channel admins to increase their audience and engagement. The instant messaging platform could soon allow admins to share invite links directly with their contacts. This feature is said to be currently in the testing phase and is available to select iPhone users via the TestFlight beta programme. Admins will reportedly be able to notify up to 64 users about the channel at once.

The Meta-owned instant messaging platform is developing a new feature that will allow WhatsApp group admins to share a channel invite with their contacts. This feature is said to be rolling out via the TestFlight beta Programme, with the 25.37.10.74 beta version for iOS. It is reportedly available to some beta testers and will reach more devices over the coming days.

Beta testers on WhatsApp iOS can now reportedly invite followers directly from the channel information page. Admins can select up to 64 contacts at once, and WhatsApp will automatically generate an invitation message, including a button to preview and follow the channel instantly.

Recently, WhatsApp has introduced several new features. The company recently expanded the ads in WhatsApp Status updates. It is said to be working to bring new emojis to the default set of emojis in the reaction tray for quick access. It is also said to be working on the Peripherals list within WhatsApp's existing Linked devices menu.
