In early June, WhatsApp informed that working to bring a channel feature in order easily discoverable channels, search for a channel by name, and filter results alphabetically.

WhatsApp testing ‘Notify me’ option for their new Channels feature on the Android
At present, the notifier feature being tested in version 2.23.12.20 of WhatsApp Beta is available via the Play Store to those enrolled in the beta program. However, in this latest beta version, the generic notification has been transformed and now looks more polished. Aside from the fancy redesign, the notification now also includes an option for the user to tap on “Notify me,” to be added to a waiting list.
It turns out that when the Channels feature launched, users that had access to it shared invite links which ended up in the hands of users that did not have access to the feature. At first, this resulted in a generic message stating that the feature is not yet available.
Well, it is yet to be clear when channels will be available globally. However, WhatsApp is working to bring the feature to the board. Once channels are available for your account, you will receive a notification letting you know.
So stay tuned to get reported first that WhatsApp stably released the feature for all via @Samnew24…
