News & Reviews:   WhatsApp Communities

For WhatsApp, we've seen it slowly transform from a pure messaging app to a new social media platform in its own right. The developer has been working hard lately, with a new feature to pin more messages added earlier this week. Now, there's another new feature for Communities.

Back in August, Malaysians were given a chance to test out WhatsApp Communities but that's over now. This is because the function has officially rolled out globally and it was announced by Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg himself. 

WhatsApp has been bringing in a slew of features over the past few months. This includes new privacy features, 2GB file sharing, emoji reaction to messages and more. Finally, WhatsApp Communities has arrived and Malaysia is one of the first countries to get early access.

Today, there is a new WhatsApp update available on both iOS and Android devices. The new update happens to be group voice calls upgraded up to 32 participants, which is also one of the features for WhatsApp Communities coming to fruition.

Back in early 2022, we already knew that WhatsApp could be working on a new Communities function for the mobile app. Well, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp have just confirmed the vision for it and here's what you can expect.

Having WhatsApp groups for various reasons like a working chat group or group projects are the norm but sometimes it can get annoying with the number of spam messages. Just recently, WABetainfo just found out that the WhatsApp team is working on a new Communities function for that.
