WhatsApp has a new service called โ€œWhatsApp Channels,โ€ which are a way for the followers of a website such as ours to have a new way to stay informed with a tool as commonly used as this messaging service that has, for so many of us, become a necessary part of daily life.

WhatsApp channels are located in the Updates section.  Tap on that tab, and first youโ€™ll see othersโ€™ status updates, and then channels, with controls for publishing status updates, seeing suggested channels, and a search function for finding new ones.  This is, therefore, a great way to stay updated that is neither โ€œaggressiveโ€ nor โ€œinvasive,โ€ since itโ€™s separate from the main page of personal chats.

When you follow one of these channels, youโ€™ll be able to see all the chats sent via it.  As a reader, youโ€™ll only be able to share messages or react to them.  The user can also see the total number of followers a channel has, but not who they are; they can also see the total number of reactions to a messsage.

Weโ€™ve created two channels:

About Basque Country (CAS)

You can access it and subscribe with this QR code

aboutBC-channels-cas
aboutBC-channels-cas

Or via this link

About Basque Country (ENG)

You can access it and subscribe with this QR code

aboutBC-channels-eng
aboutBC-channels-eng

Or via this link

In any case, weโ€™ve left the QR codes and links to the desktop version of our website, and a link with the name โ€œWhatsApp Channelโ€ in the lower part of the mobile version sites.

We hope this new service will be useful and of interest to our readers.  If we make any โ€œrookie mistakesโ€ at the beginning, we thank you in advance for your patience; itโ€™s as new for us as it is for our readers.  This way, we can learn together!

Weโ€™ll leave you with the info from the WhatsApp website about what this new service is and how it works.

Introducing WhatsApp Channels. A Private Way to Follow What Matters

Today weโ€™re excited to introduce Channels: a simple, reliable, and private way to receive important updates from people and organizations, right within WhatsApp. Weโ€™re building Channels in a new tab called Updates โ€“ where youโ€™ll find Status and channels you choose to follow โ€“ separate from your chats with family, friends, and communities.
