The ‘channel alerts’ feature is crafted to enhance the overall user experience for channel administrators. This feature offers real-time notifications regarding the suspension of their channels and also includes the capability to initiate a channel restoration request directly to WhatsApp.

WhatsApp, an instant messaging platform owned by Meta, is gearing up to introduce a new feature encompassing message search by date, concealed navigation labels, and channel alerts. Notably, this feature will be exclusive to Android users.

According to WABetaInfo, the latest features are currently accessible to select beta testers and will soon be gradually released to a wider audience.

Regarding the “channel alerts” feature, it aims to enhance the experience for channel administrators by providing real-time notifications about channel suspensions. Additionally, administrators can initiate a channel restoration by submitting a request directly to WhatsApp. Channel owners are advised to check for any violations by accessing “channel alerts” within the channel info screen.

Introduction of the Channel Alerts

The introduction of channel alerts adds a new layer of transparency to the platform. Furthermore, following the installation of the app’s latest update, two additional features are being rolled out: an improved user interface with an automatic hide function for navigation labels and the top app bar while scrolling, and the ability to search messages by date.

The message search by date feature offers users an efficient way to navigate through their chat history, facilitating the retrieval of specific messages from a particular date and saving time.

WhatsApp Introduces Vanishing Voice Messages

WhatsApp has also introduced disappearing voice messages, allowing users to send voice notes that can only be heard once before disappearing. This feature is similar to the ‘View Once’ option for photos and videos introduced in 2021, adding an extra layer of privacy to messages.
