WhatsApp is releasing a new feature called ‘advanced search filters’ for channels.

[{"selector":"#anim-d05434c4-6c96-4718-afaf-c9e7779c1aeb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-434b87f0-5b42-4b05-a479-11b29b6e4814","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f81f5a03-d653-4027-b57d-254605648fb8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It is available on WhatsApp for iOS and Android.

[{"selector":"#anim-f489abf3-252e-4b4a-a3a5-ce8bc5f71755","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62bf2823-9e93-487b-9036-6097387ee162","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb73c96e-dbc7-4b1b-aef2-42e233f57427","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp channels are still only available in 9 countries.

[{"selector":"#anim-924306dd-0974-4761-a4bf-efbdd74cdbc2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dac654eb-53f9-4a83-8d64-61e952712c37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bb479e5-9f23-4e40-b9f3-9774f2de25f0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp users can now explore new channels even without knowing their info.

[{"selector":"#anim-807b8807-e5c9-4fb7-b4d5-fa6acc3e4c7b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59fc52bd-bea1-4d74-ad02-03222d618124","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-781c37ca-69cc-4b43-a3cc-696da3164c3f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This is possible with the new advanced search filters feature for channels.

[{"selector":"#anim-c5fba548-3085-43f7-b287-4a83908acdf3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f919742-8df6-46f9-9b82-c01f71996ac8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b115915-199d-41ce-91f7-5ce0444499ba","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Users can now filter channels in order to display only those from their own country.

[{"selector":"#anim-7d4a4c96-3248-4984-8075-3b55933e728e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66c5f7ed-4928-4842-be98-1b9219952303","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4abebc0-eaa2-40e4-9756-de1e51b3a249","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

They can filter the results by showing only the most active, popular, and newest channels.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad411ff5-5fc9-47c7-9dc8-037e00e21387","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-915a9e14-32dd-4305-9d6c-3ccfe13d90fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85e08f70-f328-4168-9fb8-6a2674ece461","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Meta-owned app is making channels more accessible with the latest updates.

[{"selector":"#anim-202132d1-7016-458b-8a05-446e5b914c71","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0598b565-7af1-42b4-acfe-0248dca41141","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a7713fb3-62dd-4a4a-ae25-21cccebc69a3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp is going to introduce channels to more countries.
