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

Following an announcement early last month, WhatsApp is finally officially rolling out the Channels feature to Malaysian users.

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.
