Only admins can post updates or manage channel settings. Followers just see updates and can react, but don\u2019t get access to admin tools. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/whatsapp-channel-vs-community-vs-groups/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Channel Owner:** The person who created the channel (or current channel owner) is the only one who can invite or remove other admins. ([androidpolice.com](https://www.androidpolice.com/whatsapp-add-multiple-channel-admins/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d How to Check If You\u2019re an Admin on iOS\n\nHere are the quick steps to find out if you have admin rights, including the ability to add or invite people:\n\n1. Open **WhatsApp** on your iPhone.  \n2. Go to the **Updates** tab (bottom of the screen). Channels are located here. ([igeeksblog.com](https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-use-whatsapp-channels-on-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Tap the specific **Channel** you think you might own or administer.  \n4. Tap the **channel name** at the top (or a \u201cChannel info / Data\u201d link) to open its info page. ([androidpolice.com](https://www.androidpolice.com/whatsapp-add-multiple-channel-admins/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n   On this \u201cChannel Info\u201d page, look for the **\u201cInvite admins\u201d** option.  \n   - **If you see \u201cInvite admins\u201d** \u2014 you\u2019re an admin/owner and have the privilege to add other admins. ([androidpolice.com](https://www.androidpolice.com/whatsapp-add-multiple-channel-admins/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - **If you do *not* see \u201cInvite admins\u201d**, then you\u2019re only a follower. You don\u2019t have admin rights in that channel.\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0 Additional Things to Know\n\n- **Invitations** to become an admin are sent by the owner and must be accepted. They often expire after some time (e.g. 7 days). ([tribuneonlineng.com](https://tribuneonlineng.com/how-to-add-multiple-admins-on-your-whatsapp-channel/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Only admins (usually just the owner) can also remove admins. If you\u2019re not the owner, you won\u2019t have that option. ([tribuneonlineng.com](https://tribuneonlineng.com/how-to-add-multiple-admins-on-your-whatsapp-channel/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through each step with screenshots or tailor instructions for your exact version of iOS and WhatsApp. Do you want me to do that?"
