Earlier this week, WhatsApp beta for iOS added the ability to include polls in WhatsApp channels. Now, the popular Meta-owned chat app has finally announced that it is releasing the stable version of the feature for everyone.

In addition to polls, the channel—a one-way broadcast tool—is also gaining the ability to send voice notes and make up to 16 people admins. Additionally, users can now also share channel updates as their status.

Mark Zuckerberg said at the launch, “We’re announcing a range of new features for WA Channels, including voice notes, multiple admins, and sharing of statuses and polls, which is great because I get to settle a debate. “I need help.”

Adding the Voice Notes feature to Channels will allow creators to better communicate and connect with members in a more personal way. This is especially beneficial for creators who want to share their thoughts and ideas frequently.

Polls are another great way for creators to connect with their members. Polling can be used to gauge interest in a particular topic, gather feedback on a new idea, or simply get to know your members better. Polls can also be used to promote discussion and debate within the channel.

Additionally, the ability to instantly share channel updates as user status is a great way to promote channels and attract new members. When a user shares a channel update as their status, it will appear on their profile for all of their friends to see.

And in terms of quality of life updates for channel owners, the ability to appoint 16 people as admins is a huge improvement. This will allow channels to get more manpower to manage channels and share updates faster. This is especially beneficial for larger channels, where it can be difficult for a single person to manage everything.

That said, these updates bring much-needed stability to the Channels feature, and add it more nicely to the overall WhatsApp experience.
