CHANNEL REPORTS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.3.31 update, we announced a new feature in development: channel reports. This feature was designed to list all channel reports submitted by users, offering them valuable insights into the results of reports they've previously submitted to the moderation team. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.5.11 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out the feature to access channel reports to some beta testers!
As you can see in this screenshot, some beta testers may experiment with a new section available within the app settings to allow them to get detailed insights into the outcomes of the reports they've submitted. Specifically, whenever a channel update or the entirety of a channel is reported to WhatsApp, these reports will be integrated into this section. Consequently, users will be able to easily review and monitor the status of these reports.
In our opinion, this inclusion signifies a significant step forward in enhancing user transparency and engagement within the platform. By providing users with the ability to access detailed insights into the outcomes of their reports, WhatsApp is fostering a sense of accountability and empowerment. When users can see the tangible impact of their actions, they are more likely to feel motivated to continue reporting inappropriate content or behavior, contributing to make the platform safer for all users.
The feature to access channel reports is available to some beta testers that install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and it is rolling out to even more people over the coming days.
