“This feature allows users to receive updates from organizations who are important to them, and it’s currently available in Singapore and Colombia.

The Channel Notification feature will be a helpful feature for businesses and organizations that want to make sure that their members are aware of new Channels.

To use this feature, users simply need to click on a channel invite link. The link will show whether or not notifications are turned on for the channel. 

It is important to note that channels are currently only available in Singapore and Colombia, so users will need to have a channel link from one of those countries.

According to WABetaInfo, “To check if the channels feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account, you can try opening a channel invite link. Keep in mind that channels are currently restricted to Singapore and Colombia, so you will need to access a channel created in those countries.” 

In conclusion, the WhatsApp Channel Notification feature is a helpful way for users to stay up-to-date on new Channels. WhatsApp is constantly working on providing new updates and features to make its platform more user-friendly.
