The feature is meant to simplify how users interact in similar groups or simply, a community. With the feature finally available, users can club various groups together and seamlessly access messages and interact, all from a single window.
How do Communities work on WhatsApp?
With the Communities feature, you can easily connect with users in multiple groups. For instance, groups for workspaces, friends circles, and neighborhoods. Also, it will allow admins to share vital information in all these groups in one go. The Communities tab will be available at the top on Android and at the bottom on iOS. Also, WhatsApp didn’t let go of its end-to-end encryption in Communities. Thus the security aspect remains unwavering. Communities is one of the most anticipated features, and its release will surely benefit users, especially those who are a part of various groups on similar subjects. Along with the Communities, WhatsApp will be rolling out a few more features with the update. It includes the following:
In-chat polls Creating groups with up to 1024 users Video calls with up to 32 users
These features will be available in all groups but will be particularly helpful in communities since users can interact with a more extensive base. Remember, the update will be rolled out in a phased manner and should be available to all in the next few months. So, gear up and get ready for one of the most exciting updates in the recent past.
