WhatsApp Communities is here! Know how to use it, other details
WhatsApp Communities: For those who don't know, Communities are designed to integrate multiple related groups within bigger organizations of people, such as a neighbourhood or a workplace. Here's how you can form the community and other details about it.
FollowWhatsApp is officially making Communities available to users on Android, iOS, and the web after unveiling the functionality a few weeks ago. The new functionality is designed to make it easier for users to join WhatsApp groups that are important to them. The only purpose of launching Communities was to unite individuals and organisations with similar interests.
Similar to groups, WhatsApp Communities allows you to add more users. For instance, WhatsApp groups enable people to join a single chat, but WhatsApp Communities enables you to link together groups with related interests. You may connect with your schools, community, camps, and other organisations by gathering relevant groups in one location.
On WhatsApp Web, you can locate the Community tab in the upper right corner of your screen, however for iOS users, it shows directly next to the conversations and settings options.
