According to reports, WhatsApp is developing a new community feature. WABetaInfo discovered that this new feature is under development and is said to be an extension of Groups. According to the feature tracker, the WhatsApp community is likely to be a new place where group administrators can have more control over groups on WhatsApp, mainly to easily group other groups.
This feature is not available to Beta users as it is still under development and may take a while to be released for testing purposes. WABetaInfo shared a screenshot of the new WhatsApp community. As the name suggests, it is likely to host a large number of like-minded people or people with similar interests. It is said that the administrators of the WhatsApp community have more control than the group administrators.
According to reports, the WhatsApp community icon is a square with rounded edges to distinguish the community from the group chat. The tracker reports that the administrator will be able to send messages in this group chat and will be able to group some groups related to the community. According to reports, the community also provides some tools for the administrator to better manage the community All groups of.
However, what these advanced tools might be is currently unclear. Since this feature is still in the early stages of development, it lacks clarity. According to reports, the administrator can also invite others to join the community. Users can add it manually or use the “community invitation link” to join, depending on whether the community is private or public.
In order to have a vague understanding of what a WhatsApp community might be, WABetaInfo cited an example of a degree course student that can be considered a community. All its teaching classes are groups included in this community. Take another example of the official Discord server of WBI.
The Discord server can be regarded as a community, and its channel is a group of the community. According to the tracker, the WhatsApp community feature is being developed on the WhatsApp beta version for Android and iOS.
