There are no more excuses for forwarding phony news messages in the group chat. News24 has launched a WhatsApp Channel that will enable more South Africans to establish fact from fiction.
WhatsApp, which is often awash with misinformation, recently launched the secure one-way broadcast tool as a way for users to share updates and info with current and new followers.
If you're looking for trusted sources and credible news stories, search for News24 on WhatsApp by going to the updates tab, and clicking the plus sign next to channels. Then click 'find channels' and search for News24.
You can also follow News24's WhatsApp Channel here (this will only work on your mobile browser or web browser, not app).
