Overview
- The feature is available to select testers on WhatsApp for iOS version 25.37.10.74 via TestFlight, with gradual expansion and limited visibility reported for some App Store users.
- Admins can open a channel’s info page to choose the invite option and select up to 64 contacts per send.
- WhatsApp generates a message that includes a button letting recipients preview the channel and follow in a few taps.
- Invites are sent through a temporary broadcast list, so only contacts who have saved the admin’s number receive them.
- The capability was piloted on Android earlier, and there is no confirmed timeline for a wider stable release.
