One of the things I'll miss when I finally bin Twitter is the accounts that post useful information, such as the city subway, the local council, local venues and so on. So I'm liking the look of WhatsApp's new Channels feature, which you can use to subscribe to accounts doing exactly the same kind of thing.
If you're a WhatsApp Channel subscriber, you'll be able to get the latest updates whenever they're published, and the app won't be sharing your contact details with the channel owner. Similarly, the channel owner's personal details won't be shared with subscribers. And the whole thing is private, so your friends and colleagues won't be able to see what you've subscribed to.
