With WhatsApp’s latest feature, share questions in channels and status updates to spark private, meaningful conversations with your audience.
WhatsApp is upping its game in community interaction by rolling out a brand-new feature that lets people share questions in Channels and Status updates. Built for both content creators and everyday users, the update gives a new level of interactivity to the super popular messaging app—without sacrificing user privacy.
Share Questions That Spark Conversations
Those passive scrolling days are long gone. WhatsApp now enables the posting of open-ended questions that followers and contacts can answer in private.
Sharing in Channels
WhatsApp’s new share questions in Channels and Status updates functionality makes it easier than ever for admins to get the audience involved. With direct sharing of questions within Channels, brands and creators can ignite private conversations without filling up public chats. Followers answer quietly, and all responses remain private but visible only to the channel owner, maintaining privacy and strengthening connections.

Sharing in status updates
With WhatsApp’s new interactive feature, sharing questions in Channels and Status updates is a private and enjoyable way to get your contacts involved. The user can put a question sticker in their status so friends and followers can respond directly—and anonymously. Responses only appear on the poster’s view, with the ability to reshare anonymously in a later update.

Privacy Meets Participation
What makes this unique is WhatsApp’s dedication to keeping things private. Responses to questions shared stay anonymous, facilitating greater authenticity and genuine interaction. Whether polling followers on what to publish in the future or requesting feedback on a product, this tool allows users to remain engaged while maintaining anonymity.
Why It Matters
As Meta works to make WhatsApp more social without losing its intimacy, this interactive feature feels like the natural move. It’s considerate, understated, and still grounded in what users love best about WhatsApp—connection without noise.
The feature to send questions in status updates and channels is still being tested but already has the potential to change the way that communities interact. From polling your friends to hearing from your followers, WhatsApp now provides you with a smarter, smoother way to inquire.
