Instagram will soon include ‘channels’ similar to those seen on Telegram

Broadcast channels, like Telegram channels, enable producers to send updates directly to their followers’ inboxes. Individuals who join the channels may respond to messages and vote in polls, but they cannot actively engage in the discourse. For example, on his “Meta Channel,” Mark Zuckerberg said that he would utilise the area to “provide news and updates on all the products and tech we’re doing at Meta.” Creators may contribute audio snippets, images, and other information in addition to text updates.
