CHANNEL ALERTS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.26.6 update, we announced that WhatsApp was releasing a channel alerts screen. This feature was designed to notify channel owners of important violations by providing real-time notifications to channel administrators, ensuring to keep the platform safe. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.25.10.77 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out channel alerts to some beta testers!
As you can see in this screenshot, a new channel alerts screen may be visible within the channel info screen, offering channel owners essential insights into the current status of their channels. When everything shared in the channel complies with the channel policy, the channel alerts screen will report that there are no current alerts, expressing gratitude for following the channel guidelines. However, in case there is an issue, channel owners will need to address it promptly to avoid a lifetime suspension of their channels. This feature not only prompts channel owners to promptly address concerns but also acts as a preventive measure against potential severe penalties, such as a lifetime suspension of their channels, contributing to a safer and more responsible platform experience.
We believe that the channel alerts feature brings an enhanced level of transparency to the platform, as users can now easily identify any issues affecting their channels and discover which updates violate the channel guidelines. This proactive approach allows channel administrators to maintain the integrity of their channels, ensuring that they can promptly address concerns and restore the channel. By giving administrators the ability to address issues proactively, the channel alerts feature becomes a crucial tool in maintaining a healthy and compliant channel community, safeguarding channels from extreme consequences and promoting a more responsible use of the platform.
The channel alerts feature for channel owners is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it is rolling out to more people over the coming days.
