How to Add Multiple Admins to WhatsApp Channels

WhatsApp Channels allow you to follow your interests and create a community of people with a shared passion. You can create a WhatsApp Channel with your friends and family to send out updates or broadcast messages seamlessly. Of course, should your channel catch on, you may have trouble managing it all by yourself. Well, the good news is that WhatsApp now allows you to add multiple admins to your Channels.

Even if you don’t have a highly populated WhatsApp Channel, having multiple admins for efficient management is always good. Here’s how to add and manage admins in WhatsApp Channels on mobile and desktop.

Invite Multiple Admins to the WhatsApp Channel on Mobile

The new update to the popular instant messaging app lets you add more than one admin to manage your Channel – 16, to be precise. Each admin gets the same management rights as you, like changing the description, profile picture, channel name, sending messages, and more.

Before moving on with the steps, we suggest installing the latest version of WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android phone.

Once done, here’s how to add multiple admins to WhatsApp Channels.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your iPhone and Android phone.

Step 2: Tap on the Updates tab and select your Channel name.

It’s good to add multiple admins to your WhatsApp Channel, especially if you are away and don’t have access to your account. In addition to joining existing groups, you can also create a community on WhatsApp. This community is different from a channel, as it comprises a collection of related groups. If you have multiple WhatsApp groups, you can create a community instead of a channel. But then, when should you create a Channel? And what else makes it different from a Community?
