This How.com.vn teaches you how to create a new public or private channel in the Slack app for Android.
Steps
Open Slack. It's the blue, orange, pink, and green icon with an “S” inside. You'll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
Swipe from left to right. This opens the team's channel list.
Tap + next to “Channels.” This opens the Browse Channels screen.
Tap the + in a circle. It's at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Choose whether to make your channel public. The channel is public by default. To make it private, move the “Public” slider to the Off (gray) position.- If you make the channel private, nobody will be able to access it unless you invite them.
Type a name for the channel. It should go into the “Channel name” field. Channel names can be up to 22 characters long.[1]
Type a description of the channel. This is optional, but can help others understand why the channel exists. This description goes into the “Purpose” field under “Optional.”
Tap Create. The channel is now added to your Slack team.- To invite someone to the channel, open the channel, tap its name at the top of the screen, then tap Add Someone. Select a user from the list, then tap Done to send an invitation.[2]
