Overview

  • WhatsApp's new star feature enables users to mark significant updates in Channels for quick access and sharing.
  • The functionality is currently available to select Android beta users on version 2.25.17.7, with broader availability expected soon.
  • Starred updates can be accessed through individual channel info pages or a global 'Mit Stern markiert' section.
  • Updates can only be starred from channels a user currently follows, and leaving a channel removes its starred updates.
  • This enhancement reflects WhatsApp's efforts to improve content navigation and optimize user experience as Channels evolve.
