WhatsApp Prepares to Launch New Bulk Channel Management Feature

WhatsApp is currently testing a new bulk channel management feature with a select group of iOS beta users. This feature simplifies and accelerates the process of managing followed channels by enabling users to select and manage multiple channels simultaneously.

Key Functionalities of the New Feature

With this significant update, users can:

• Mute multiple channels simultaneously.
• Mark several channels as read.
• Customize notification settings in bulk.

 

For example, users can now mute certain channels with just a single step if they aren’t already muted, receiving a notification toggle in the process.

Users can also optimize the process of cleaning up their channel list by unfollowing many channels concurrently using this feature. According to WABetaInfo, individuals who manage multiple subscriptions will find the new feature particularly useful.

It used to be tedious and time-consuming for users to manage each channel separately, making it hard to do things like mute or flag channels as read.

Enhanced User Experience

Users can easily manage notifications with this functionality, which also gives them better flexibility and control over channel subscriptions. This feature improves the overall experience for users who follow a lot of channels by making repetitive operations easier.

The bulk management tool is currently accessible to a small group of beta testers who have downloaded the most recent version of WhatsApp for iOS using the TestFlight app. In the next weeks, more users will be able to utilize the function on WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta.

By providing a streamlined and user-friendly method to handle channels and notifications, WhatsApp once again proves its dedication to enhancing user experience.
