Mark Zuckerberg talks about WhatsApp Communities and new features
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has spoken out about a new feature coming to WhatsApp. It is the WhatsApp Communities, a feature that will soon be rolled out to users. But what can you do with it?
WhatsApp Communities on the go
- Communities in WhatsApp are coming
- Other new features announced
Message service WhatsApp is working on a lot of new features. This week we already wrote that four new functions are on their way to WhatsApp. One of the innovations is the WhatsApp Communities. On Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg explains what the plans are with this option.
WhatsApp Communities makes it easier for group administrators to organize everything and bring information together in one community. A community can therefore consist of several existing WhatsApp groups. Think of different classes of a school, which you can then combine nicely. It is clear that WhatsApp wants to add a separate tab to the app for the communities.
New functions
Zuckerberg also says that other improvements are in the pipeline for WhatsApp. For example, it should become possible to share files up to 2GB, WhatsApp reactions will be introduced that allow you to like a message, as it were, and group managers can delete messages for everyone. Furthermore, participants of a group can leave it silently, without the rest being informed. Another improvement is that group calls will eventually be possible with 32 participants.
It is currently unknown when the new features will be available.
