Key Points:
- WhatsApp introduces a category feature for the channels directory.
- Automatically organizes channels into seven predefined categories.
- Available to some beta testers, expanding soon.
WhatsApp has released a new update through the TestFlight beta program, upgrading the version to 24.16.10.73. This update introduces a new feature for the channels directory, making it easier for users to discover and explore content.
This new feature, which was previously announced for the Android version, automatically sorts channels into seven predefined categories: Business, Entertainment, Lifestyle, News and Information, Organizations, People, and Sports. This automatic categorization simplifies the browsing process, allowing users to easily find content relevant to their interests without needing to manually assign categories.
With the new categorization system, users can now filter and search for channels more efficiently. By selecting a specific category, they can quickly narrow down their search and find channels that match their preferences. This feature not only enhances the user experience but also encourages users to explore new and relevant content they might not have considered before.
The category feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from TestFlight. It is expected to roll out to more users in the coming weeks.
