How to invite and dismiss channel admins

As a channel owner, you can invite up to 16 admins at a time to help you manage your channel and channel updates. You can invite anyone from your contacts. Any admin can choose to dismiss themselves (see instructions below).
When inviting someone to be an admin, keep in mind:
  • Invited admins can see your phone number: When you invite someone to be a channel admin, the invitation is sent as a chat message from your personal WhatsApp account, not your channel.
  • Any admin can make updates or manage channel info: Once an invitation is accepted, an admin can manage your channel info and create, edit, and delete any channel updates. Only you, as the channel owner, can delete the channel. Learn more about channel admin controls.
  • All admins should enable two-step verification: As the channel owner, encourage all admins to turn on two-step verification for their account to protect the security of your channel.
Note:
  • Channel admins who aren’t the owner can’t invite or dismiss additional admins.
  • As the channel owner, you can see the list of current admins at the top of your follower list on the channel info page. You can see the list of invited admins under {number} invited on the channel info page.
  • Channel invitations expire:
    • After seven days if not accepted
    • If accepted by the invited admin
    • If the invitation is revoked by the channel owner
You can invite, dismiss, and revoke invitations for channel admins from your channel info page.
To get to your channel info page:
  1. Open Channels by clicking the Channels icon.
  2. Click your channel.
  3. Click your channel name.
