Conclusion
We highly recommend taking advantage of WhatsApp’s admin features if you manage channels. Start by adding 1-2 trusted contacts as admins and expand from there.
Carefully vet potential admins, but don’t hesitate to remove ineffective ones either. Building the right leadership team is crucial as your community grows from hundreds to thousands of subscribers.
