WHATSAPP prepares a tool to spread newsletters to an unlimited number of people

Whatsapp is rolling out a feature in a new Android beta update that will allow the spread of informative bulletins or Newsletter, with which information and announcements can be sent to an unlimited number of users in a safe and private way, the users being who choose the newsletters of those who wish to receive updates.

The instant messaging platform deployed its function in August of last year Communities, a feature that improves the organization and transmission of information, allowing conversation groups that revolve around common themes and interests to come together in the same space.

Now, Whatsapp continues to incorporate new tools that improve the communication of information directly. To do this, it has introduced the dissemination of Newsletter or informative bulletins in the latest

update of the Beta version of Android 2.23.5.3, as Wabetainfo has been able to verify.

Although the exact name of the function has not been discovered, so ‘Newsletter’ is a code name, it defines the purpose of this tool. It is a function focused on the transmission of information from one to many so that users can can receive useful updates from people and groups of interest. In this sense, it is the users who choose who they want to receive newsletters from directly from Whatsapp.

A novelty of this tool is that it will allow reach an indefinite number of people. However,

this implies that the information transmitted through this channell is not protected by end-to-end encryption as it is a one-way transmission, as explained in Wabetainfo.

However, it continues to be a secure and private informative method since the telephone number and the data of the users that are subscribe to a newsletter will be kept hidden. Similarly, the creators of these newsletters they will not be able to see which users join, nor will data of the person who created the newsletter be shown. All this, regardless of whether these users are in the contact list.
