Meta-owned WhatsApp has rolled out new updates to the community feature, including changes to the interface of the ‘announcement group’ for users on iOS and Android.
According to IANS, the company renamed the announcement group on WhatsApp beta for Android to ‘Home’, and it has been renamed ‘Updates’ on WhatsApp beta for iOS.
WhatsApp’s community feature allows users to create and join groups of people who share common interests or hobbies.
According to the report, the renaming decision was made because the announcement group is typically a read-only conversation that only community administrators have access to, and it may not fit the traditional definition of a group.
To improve the user interface and maintain consistency with other chats, WhatsApp also moved the community icon from the bottom bar to the chat header.
Furthermore, the most recent WhatsApp Communities update for iOS and Android gives community admins a more bug-free experience when posting messages to their community.
