When Is It Going To Roll Out For Everyone?
As mentioned before, the new channels list interface is only available for some beta testers using the WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.24.4.19. However, the public version should be ready for rollout shortly now that the feature has made it to an official beta release of the app.
In related news, WhatsApp recently brought enhanced spam protection to the app by allowing users to block users directly from the lock screen. The Meta-owned instant messaging app announced the same through a message sent from its official account. This helps users save time needed to block someone by helping you avoid various submenus and the unnecessary hassle of finding and opening a chat.
