It has been more than two years since the outbreak of the epidemic, and the opportunities to meet with work, clients, family, and friends have been greatly reduced, and replaced by WhatsApp groups to keep in touch, chat regarding work or chat regarding trivial matters. In order to facilitate users to manage more and more groups, WhatsApp yesterday announced the launch of the Communities feature, allowing users to pull groups into the same Community for easy management.
Schools, companies and communities can use it
For example, users can pull all the groups of colleagues, teams, and customers into the “official” Community. New features include announcements on the top, files or images up to 2GB, and Emoji can express emotions (ie, Like and Nami, etc.), There is also support for conference calls for up to 32 people. WhatsApp also mentioned in the press release that the Communities feature is also available for schools, non-profit organizations, groups, communities, and building residents to facilitate their communication and exchange of information.
Administrators have greater privileges
The Communities function gives administrators the authority to delete messages and hide members’ phone numbers to maintain order within the group and protect user privacy. In order to prevent users from spamming messages, WhatsApp restricts members to only forward messages to one Community. If you want to forward messages to 10 Communities, you need to manually forward them 10 times. The new features will be rolled out to users around the world in the coming months, and the Communities feature will also appear in other Meta communication products such as Facebook, Messenger and Instagram in the future.
