WhatsApp begins testing new feature to invite contacts to follow channels

California (Web Desk): WhatsApp has started testing an exciting new feature for its channels, allowing users to invite others to follow the channel and expand its reach.

According to a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, the feature is in its initial testing phase and will soon be available to a wider audience. Under this feature, channel admins can send invitations to people in their contact list to follow the channel. Admins can select contacts directly from their phone's contact list in the channel settings and send out invites.

The invitation will arrive as a message, and users can easily follow the channel by clicking on the link provided. This feature is still in its early stages, and access will be expanded to more users shortly.
