WhatsApp will start suggesting list of similar channels based on relevance soon
The Channels feature on WhatsApp has been getting more promising since the day it was unveiled, and providing users with a more relevant experience. Therefore, WhatsApp will soon start suggesting a list of similar channels based on relevance and similarity to other existing channels.
According to information, WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will suggest similar channels, and help users to discover new content that might align with their interests. Many users may not be aware of all the channels available on WhatsApp that cater to their interests.
Thus, by suggesting similar channels, WhatsApp will help users discover a wider range of content that they may find relevant and engaging. However, if users choose to follow a new channel or view the information of a channel they already follow, WhatsApp will suggest a list of similar channels based on their relevance.

It’s worth noting that only verified channels will be suggested, ensuring that users only receive recommendations from trusted sources. Simultaneously, these suggestions are based on the similarity of channel content rather than personalized algorithms analyzing user interests.
Consequently, the feature to suggest similar channels is under development and it will be available in a future update of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is updating its verification badges by replacing the green tick with a new blue one. This change is currently being tested with beta users on the Google Play Beta Program.
The new blue tick is a symbol of authenticity for verified channels and businesses on WhatsApp. By matching with the color scheme used on other Meta platforms like Instagram and Facebook, WhatsApp aims to make it easier for users to recognize official accounts.
This enhancement not only improves visuals but also strengthens security by providing a clear marker of verified authenticity. The switch from green to blue provides a secure environment and aligns WhatsApp appearance with other Meta services.
WhatsApp users who have installed the latest beta version 2.24.14.18 can check the blue checkmark on the official channels. This feature will gradually rollout to more beta testers in the coming days.

The fresh update brings a long-awaited feature, which allows beta testers to forward and share messages, photos, videos, and GIFs directly to channels. This new feature simplifies content sharing for channel owners and lets them easily share media from personal chats or other apps like file explorers directly to their channels.
Previously, users had to save media locally before uploading it to channels, but now, the process is seamless and easy. This new feature not only improves the content-sharing experience but also enhances engagement by ensuring that channels remain updated with fresh content.
By removing additional steps, WhatsApp reduces the time and effort required to maintain channels. This feature aims to make WhatsApp more user-friendly for forwarding and sharing content.
