WhatsApp to soon roll out transfer channel ownership feature

10 months ago 14

introduced its Channels

feature

in India in June last year. The Meta-owned app is now working on a new functionality for its Channel feature.
As reported by WABeatInfo, WhatsApp is working on a feature to

transfer

the

channel ownership

. The feature is presently available for Android beta testers and it comes with version number 2.24.2.17. A new option to transfer the ownership of a channel will be available within the channel info screen in the future.
This option empowers channel owners to seamlessly transfer

administrative rights

and responsibilities to another chosen channel administrator.

The implementation of this feature aims to augment the flexibility and adaptability of WhatsApp channels, facilitating smooth transitions in cases where the current channel owner makes personal decisions necessitating a change in leadership.
“We believe that this feature might also be useful in other situations, especially for channel owners who manage their channels using two different WhatsApp accounts. In such cases, where a channel owner may have distinct WhatsApp accounts for professional and personal use, the ability to transfer ownership becomes even more important. As the channel grows or undergoes a shift in focus, the channel owner may decide to separate their personal and professional communications by creating a dedicated WhatsApp account for the channel,” mentioned the report.

WhatsApp Channels surpasses 500 million monthly active users
WhatsApp has shared that Channels has achieved over 500 million monthly active users, offering a diverse array of options for users to follow. Notable channels include Mumbai Indians, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Katrina Kaif, Vijay Deverakonda, Master Your Money, Bad Bunny, Netflix, National Geographic, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1, among others.
Furthermore, WhatsApp has highlighted that Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer, made history by being the inaugural user to send voice updates on his WhatsApp Channel to his extensive following of over 19 million users.
