News & Reviews:   group chat

Facebook and Messenger recently announced the introduction of Community Chats, a feature that allows group organisers to create curated live Messenger chat groups similar to Discord. Through the feature, users can browse chats organised by announcements, topics, events and more instead of just relying on feed posts and comments.

WhatsApp has been actively bringing more new features to group chats. This time, the platform gets spotted with one that allows group admins to delete any messages for everyone. It is already available for the beta testers, as discovered by WABetaInfo, and it's just a matter of time before it gets pushed out to all.

Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new campaign for WhatsApp in line with the launch of a trio of features. The campaign focuses on the security and privacy features of the messaging app. It'll start in India and U.K. before making its way to the other countries.

What is Community and how is that different from WhatsApp groups? According to WABetaInfo.com, the team just recently tested out this beta test and it's still under development. However, there is a preview so here's what they learnt.
