Channels you previously followed may disappear from your list in the Updates tab if you’ve recently changed your phone or transferred chats between devices.
Steps to try
Here’s some steps to try if you’re missing some channels:
- Clicking this link to refresh your channel list.
- Making sure you’re on the latest version of WhatsApp and updating if possible.
- Uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp.
If this doesn’t work, you may need to refollow the missing channels.
If you’re a channel admin and can’t access your channel, here are some additional steps to try:
- Accessing your channel from a direct link. If you have other channel admins they can create one from their phone for you by tapping your channel > your channel name > the link icon.
- Searching the directory to find and refollow your channel.
