AFP successfully launched and certified on Whatsapp Channels
AFP's Whatsapp Channels are now fully operational and certified. Named 'AFP News' in English and 'Agence France-Presse' in French, the accounts are currently managed by the social media teams in Paris and London.
Whatsapp Channels have proven instrumental for media outlets aiming to build and engage communities among Meta's 3 billion users on social networks, including Facebook and Instagram.
Akin to the interactive nature of traditional chats on Whatsapp, channel subscribers have the option to react to posts using emojis, without the option of leaving comments.
