Google Chat Kembangkan Feature Announcement, Similar To Channel On WhatsApp

JAKARTA All instant messaging applications have improved. If in the past messaging applications only supported one-to-one chats, now messaging applications could support group interactions or one-way chats. One-way chats are a feature that supports large-scale interactions. This feature is seen in several applications such as Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp. Apparently, Google doesn't want to be left behind so they develop the feature in the Chat app.Google Chat is a re-branding of Hangout which can still be accessed in the Android version of the Gmail application or its independent app. This application, which is part of Google Workspace, can send messages in a single-to-one chat or a small group. The launch of Channels features made by WhatsApp is one of the right steps to improve the application function. Google seems to be aware of this potential so that they follow the steps chosen by WhatsApp. Found first by the AssetembleDebug on the X platform, quoted from Android Police, Google Chat is developing a feature known as Announcement. This feature is similar to the Channels feature launched by WhatsApp at the end of last year.
