WhatsApp is testing a new tool for broadcasting newsletters

The “WhatsApp” application for instant messaging announced that it is working on a new feature that enables users to broadcast newsletters in communities, in a manner similar to what the Advertising Channels feature that was recently launched by the Instagram platform allows.

The new Newsletters feature, according to the technical site “WABetaInfo”, is a tool for broadcasting news from an individual to a large group of individuals, which facilitates the sending of relevant updates to news groups of all kinds.

The site added that these updates and bulletins will not be protected by end-to-end encryption technology, but the phone numbers of subscribers will be hidden.
