Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has announced a new feature called Communities that will allow admins to organize groups under one umbrella.
“Communities on WhatsApp will enable people to bring together separate groups under one umbrella with a structure that works for them. That way people can receive updates sent to the entire Community and easily organize smaller discussion groups on what matters to them,” WhatsApp explained in a blog post.
According to The Hindu, Communities will also include new tools for admins, including announcement messages that are sent to everyone and control over which groups can be included.
Communities will be coming to WhatsApp later this year as a new tab in the app.
“Communities are inherently private, which is why we will continue to protect messages with end-to-end encryption. It’s early days for Communities on WhatsApp and building the new features to support them will be a major focus of ours for the year to come,” WhatsApp said in the post.
