A QUIET WAY TO KEEP IN TOUCH

Receive minimal, meaningful updates

HOW THE CHANNEL WORKS
Not a conversation to manage
The channel will sit in the Updates area of WhatsApp, separate from your personal chats and group conversations. Calm-hearted posts the updates, and you can read them whenever it suits you.
Only Calm-hearted sends channel updates.​
There is no discussion thread or direct reply feature.
You can use an emoji reaction or vote when a poll is shared.
Notifications can stay muted unless you choose to turn them on.
WhatsApp keeps channel history available for up to 30 days, so the channel stays current, uncluttered, and will not build into an archive.
