WhatsApp Channels now available in Malaysia


Channels that users join will be muted by default; users will have to manually unmute each channel they join in order to receive notifications. — Meta

For the unaware, WhatsApp Channels function similarly to Telegram channels, where users can join a channel to receive updates from people and organisations via messages containing text, images, videos, stickers, and polls.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
