Community administrators will be able to approve or disapprove any request made by other community members using this area. There are two shortcuts to swiftly reject or accept their ideas in the same area. The "admin approval" privacy option, which is also required, must be accessible to group members.

According to the report, WhatsApp intends to provide a further tool to assist community managers in enhancing their communities by enabling community members to participate.

When a recommendation is approved, the group and all of its members are automatically included in the community. As this is not automated, new community members will still have the choice of which other community groups they wish to join. The community admin will soon have the option to accept suggestions for groups, which will be made accessible in an app update.

Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing rounded notifications that adhere to the most recent Material Design 3 standards. The most recent iteration of Google's open-source design system, Material Design 3, encourages the best methods of user interface design.
