WhatsApp is a very famous chatting app which brings new features every now and then. WhatsApp had added poll support in channels for iOS beta before, and now again WhatsApp is coming with a new update that is WhatsApp Beta for iOS 25.20.10.73. Currently, this feature is rolling out through the TestFlight beta Program. With the WhatsApp new update, the company is working on a feature that allows channel admins to post questions in their channels to collect feedback.
WhatsApp users were asking for more interactive tools in channels from a long time and now WhatsApp is finally working on a feature that helps admins connect better with their followers. In today’s article, we will discuss the WhatsApp Beta for iOS 25.20.10.73 and how this upcoming question feature could improve engagement in channels.
CHANNEL QUESTION MESSAGE FEATURE
In the beta version, WhatsApp is now developing a new feature that allows channel admins to share questions directly in their channels. This feature will be added inside the chat attachment menu, where admins will find a new “Questions” option. With this, admins can write a question and post it as part of a channel update, and their followers can reply directly to it.
So when someone views the channel update, they will see the question and get the option to submit a response. The replies are only visible to the channel admin and not to other followers. This keeps the feedback private and secure.
Why This Question Feature Is Useful
In this new update, the question message feature is designed to help admins get direct responses from their audience. Instead of guessing what followers want or think, now they can just ask and get feedback in real-time.
Admins can use this for many things—like asking what topics to cover next, collecting feedback on shared content, or organizing a poll-style discussion. It helps build a stronger bond between channel creators and their followers and makes the channel more active.
How It Works in the App
After this feature rolls out, admins will go to the chat attachment menu and tap on “Questions.” They can then type any question and post it like a regular update. Once shared, followers will see it and can reply directly inside the channel message.
To view responses, admins can go to the same update inside their channel. All replies are grouped there for easy viewing. If the admin deletes the question update, all replies will also be permanently deleted with no way to recover them.
Focus on Privacy and Simplicity
This new WhatsApp feature also gives priority to privacy. When someone replies to a question, their answer is only visible to the admin. No one else in the channel will be able to see, react, or reply to someone else’s answer.
This gives users more confidence to reply honestly without fear of judgment. WhatsApp is aiming to provide admins with feedback while respecting user privacy at all times.
Availability of the Feature
This feature is still under development and is not yet available for beta testers. Even if you have installed WhatsApp Beta for iOS 25.20.10.73 through TestFlight, you might not see this feature yet. WhatsApp is still working on it and will release it in a future update.
If you want to get early access in the future, keep checking the beta builds regularly or stay connected with WABetaInfo for updates.
Use Cases and Real Examples
Channel admins can use this question feature in many useful ways. For example, a local news channel can ask what issues followers want to see covered. A music channel can ask which songs to feature next. An educational channel can ask what topics need more explanation.
This type of question format gives followers a direct voice in the content and helps admins plan better updates based on what people actually want.
