WhatsApp reveals NEW feature that will change your group chats forever
WHATSAPP is testing a brand new feature called Community.
Each Community is like a giant “group” for your existing WhatsApp Groups.
first
Groups are one of the most popular ways to chat inside Facebook-owned apps.
But having multiple Teams can sometimes be chaotic – and hard to keep track of.
WhatsApp started working on Community to collect Groups last year.
Now, details about this feature are being announced in the beta version of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp executives at WABetaInfo discovered new images and references to “Community” on WhatsApp.
“It’s a private place where group admins have more control over certain groups on WhatsApp, available in a future update of the app,” WABetaInfo said.
“It’s like a group chat and group admins can link other groups in the Community.”
WABetaInfo added: “It is possible to reach everyone at once by sending messages to all participants of the groups linked to the community.”
The full features are not yet in beta, but it is likely that they will be tested in the near future.
Communities will be a way to keep Teams organized.
It is possible that you have a Work Community that will have many smaller Teams within it.
Or maybe your local area will have a Community, divided into separate Groups to go to school and complain about neighborhood problems.
WhatsApp hasn’t confirmed when – or even if – the feature will roll out to the public.
