Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday joined WhatsApp Channels, a feature offered by messaging application WhatsApp.
"Thrilled to join the WhatsApp community. It's yet another step closer in our journey of continued interactions. Let's stay connected here, " he posted on the social messaging site after joining the new application of WhatsApp.
He also shared a picture of his office from the new Parliament building.
Modi has been quite active on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter).
The development comes on the day the proceedings of Parliament shifted to the new Parliament building.
WhatsApp Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls.
Channels can be found in a new tab called Updates on WhatsApp – where one can find the status and channels one chooses to follow, and are separate from one's chats with family, friends and communities.
