WhatsApp is the reference messaging application at the moment and in most countries. Meta is behind this enormous project that does not stop growing in terms of functions and users. Now we want to focus on one of its latest additions that has caught the attention of many, we refer to the channels.
Possibly many of those who are familiar with this type of applications and who have an account on another of the most important platforms of this type, such as Telegram, are already accustomed to using these elements. However, the channels have only been with us on WhatsApp for a few weeks and they are elements that are growing. The possibility of creating and subscribing to these appeared for the first time last September.
With this incorporation, Meta intends to compete face to face with Telegram in this sense. Hence, over the last few weeks many regular users of this application have subscribed to certain channels that arouse their interest. In parallel and as it could not be otherwise, multiple companies, corporations, influencers and end users have created their own.
The most followed WhatsApp Spanish channels in Spain
After the incorporation of this tool focused on channels in the messaging application that we mentioned, many have started to create their own. Next, we are going to show you the most followed in our country in the language of Cervantes, with the global figures that they accumulate right now. Here you have the top 5 at the moment, although it could change at any time due to the growth of this new functionality.
- Real Madrid CF with 19.9 million followers.
- Bad Bunny with 17.4 million.
- FC Barcelona with 14.4 million.
- AuronPlay with 7.2 million.
- UFCEspañol with 4.4 million followers.
As we can see here, football is triumphing in terms of followers, and something similar happens with the world of music.
This is how you create your own channel to become popular
Of course, as it could not be otherwise, we also have the possibility of creating our own channel on WhatsApp to add followers. Here we can add friends, family or strangers. It may also happen that we use this channel that we created in the messaging application for more professional or marketing reasons. Whatever the reason, its creation is quite simple as we will see below.
To do this, the first thing we do is open the application on our mobile phone in a conventional way, for example, on Android. At the top of the interface we click on the tab that says News, where we see a section dedicated to the States of our contacts, and another to the Channels, which is what concerns us in this case.
In the first instance, here we are going to find some recommendations that the application itself makes to subscribe. But in this case what interests us is creating our own. To do this, we click on the + button that appears on the screen and here we will see the option called Create channel.
To finish the process we will only have to establish a name for it and add an attractive description to gain followers. In addition, we can put a photo so that our personal channel can be better identified.
