Channels serve as a tool for one-way broadcasting, allowing administrators to send text messages, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.
The company is developing a searchable directory to help users discover channels that match their interests. Within this directory, users can explore channels related to their hobbies, sports teams, updates from local authorities, and other topics.
