Meta Platforms said on Wednesday it will roll out broadcast channels , a feature for public distribution of messages from individuals, to Facebook and Messenger. Social media firms are bringing in more features to shore up engagement across apps in a highly competitive online environment. The announcement comes as rival messaging app Telegram's broadcast channels have assumed an outsized role in the co NFL ict between Israel and Hamas, as the primary means that the Palestinian Islamist group uses to communicate with the world. "We're currently testing the ability for Pages to create broadcast channels and expect to roll this out in the coming weeks," Meta said in a statement. Meta expanded WhatsApp Channels to users in over 150 countries last month. The feature is also available on Instagram.

Instagram's broadcast channels is a one-way messaging feature that is being rolled out globally to everyone, after being available to select creators on the platform. Using broadcast channels , users can messages their followers, who would be able to react to them and vote on polls. Followers won't be able to respond or reply to the messages sent out. Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that the feature would be launched globally today. In the announcement, Zuckerberg mentioned that creators would be able to not only send text messages but also images, videos and audio clips. Additionally, creators can invite others to join the channel as collaborators as well.
