About us

WhatsAppKanalı (whatsappkanali.com) is an independent WhatsApp and Telegram channel/group directory based in Turkey. Our core mission is to help users safely discover communities that match their interests and give listing owners organic visibility.

Who we are

WhatsAppKanalı started as a community project. The platform is fed by invite links and descriptions users share voluntarily. Every entry passes editorial moderation before publish: title accuracy, category fit, description quality and content suitability. Detailed criteria are on the quality standards page.

We bring scattered WhatsApp and Telegram communities together in one organized, categorized directory. Lists are updated regularly; we cannot guarantee every invite link stays active — that depends on platform rules and group admins.

Mission & values

• Safe discovery: We review every listing before publish to reduce spam, fraud, illegal content and harmful links.
• Awareness: Guides and blog posts help users join communities responsibly.
• Transparency: Legal obligations, moderation criteria and data policies are published openly.
• Accessibility: We offer a fast, simple, mobile-friendly interface anyone can use.

How the directory works

1. Browse by categories or search.
2. Submit a listing via the add channel/group form; it goes live after approval.
3. Likes, comments and clicks help surface popular, quality content.
4. Our Telegram directory covers Telegram channels and groups too.

Moderation & quality control

All submissions are reviewed for category fit, repeat spam, misleading titles and prohibited content. We never accept and immediately remove listings involving:

• Child abuse, child pornography or pedophilia
• Terrorism propaganda or incitement to violence
• Drug and illegal substance trade
• Fraud, phishing and financial crime promotion
• Unauthorized sharing of personal data (doxxing)
• Hate speech, racism, discrimination
• Copyright infringement or pirated content distribution

Complaints and copyright claims are handled under the takedown processes summarized on our terms of use and imprint pages. We are not a trust certificate — read descriptions before joining.

Legal framework

We operate as a hosting provider under Turkish Law 5651. Legal responsibility for user-generated content lies with the content provider; we are not an official representative of Meta (WhatsApp) or Telegram. We act promptly on legal, administrative and judicial orders.

Mandatory disclosures are on the imprint page. See privacy policy and cookie policy for personal data handling.
