We had heard about the Communities feature on WhatsApp several times in the past but we never knew when it will make its official entry. Well, not anymore, as the Meta-owned messaging platform has finally announced the Communities feature for better group management for all. Here’s all you need to know.
WhatsApp Communities is meant for people to easily manage and organize all their group conversations. Users can put all their groups under one place with a “structure that works for them,” which will be the dedicated Communities tab on the app. The aim is to streamline the management of larger WhatsApp groups.
Much like how other chats on WhatsApp are, Communities will also be end-to-end encrypted and provide people with the options to report abuse, block accounts, and more. Phone numbers of people will also be hidden to maintain privacy and WhatsApp will introduce “sensible limits on size, discoverability, and forwarding.” Although, we are yet to get more information on this.
