WhatsApp is preparing to introduce a new interactive feature that will let people take quizzes directly inside Channels, the app’s one-to-many broadcast space. Instead of just reading updates or announcements from creators, communities, and businesses, users will soon be able to engage with content by answering questions, testing their knowledge, and participating in polls that feel more like mini-games or quizzes. This update aims to make Channels more dynamic and engaging rather than purely informational.
The quiz feature will appear alongside regular Channel posts, offering multiple-choice questions or quick challenges that followers can complete with a tap. Creators might use quizzes to entertain their audience, gather feedback, or reinforce key points from their messages. For example, a cooking Channel could quiz subscribers on ingredients from a recent recipe post, or a language learning group might use questions to help people review vocabulary. These interactive elements give channels a fresh way to connect with followers.
Behind the scenes, WhatsApp is keeping the quiz experience simple and intuitive, fitting smoothly within the familiar chat and Channel environment. Users won’t need to install plugins or jump into separate apps — quizzes will show up where they already follow news, updates, and content. Results are typically displayed instantly, letting participants see whether they got answers right and, in some cases, how others responded to the same questions. This immediate feedback is designed to make interacting with Channels more fun and social.
For creators and group admins, the addition of quiz tools opens up new opportunities to spark conversation and participation. Instead of passive consumption, followers can actively engage, helping build a sense of community and encouraging repeat visits to a channel. Educational channels, fan communities, and niche interest groups may find quizzes especially useful for teaching, surveying opinions, or simply breaking up long text posts with a lighter activity.
This update reflects a broader shift in how messaging platforms are trying to blend communication with engagement. As social and messaging apps compete for attention, adding features that encourage interaction helps keep users invested. WhatsApp’s choice to embed quizzes directly into Channels suggests the company is looking for ways to deepen connection and make its broadcast tools feel more lively and relevant.
WhatsApp has not yet announced an exact release date, but the quiz feature is expected to roll out gradually in the coming months. When it arrives, both creators and followers alike will have a new way to participate in channel content — turning what used to be one-way updates into shared experiences.
