As of now, there is no filtering solution for WhatsApp on IOS ...
For Android, there is MB-Smart & Netspark.

Can you share with us the name of the filter? And is it IOS or Android?

I have iOS so not sure what to do. I don’t mind moving to signal but so does everyone else for it to be effective.

Netspark and hadran block it. Techloq?

Meanwhile you should stay off it, no?
I nooticed that if you don't agree to the terms and conditions, you can't get in.

I beg you, don't check it out, it's not worth it! I had to restart my streak of hundreds of days!!

Correct. You can view the channels that pop up on the "home page", but when you attempt to search for other channels the app crashes.

They currently can only have it blocked globally on Android devices  - as long as you have their filter installed, and are working on a filtering solution for IOS.

There is a company called Safe Telecom that sells an Android phone that has a completely closed system (impossible to add apps except the ones in his appstore that have been "kosherized"). I am told that he has a a version of Whatapp without channels at all.

This was sent out yesterday by TAG.
They don't write there that it can't be filtered, it's just an alert that each person should review his needs and his devices to make sure it's appropriate.

Techloq had been blocking it for a while BH.

Reminder, don't try to test filters...
