WhatsApp is working hard behind the scenes to develop new features for groups. These WhatsApp communities make it easier, among other things, to create and manage multiple chat groups.
New features for groups in WhatsApp
You can already create groups in WhatsApp, but the options in a group were rather limited. That now seems to be slowly changing, because in a new version of WhatsApp there seems to be a function for creating ‘Communities’. This feature is not yet available in the public beta and it will probably be a while before you can really get started with it.

WhatsApp communities are coming
The WhatsApp Communities can be compared a bit with a Discord server. Here you will find different chat groups or channels. A channel can have multiple groups and these channels belong to different, umbrella administrators.
In WhatsApp Communities, admins also get more options to manage groups (or communities). Admins may also invite other users to a community. This can be done manually or via a special invitation link. This depends on whether the group is private or not.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, but is now facing stiff competition from Telegram and Signal, among others. Despite this, it’s still a huge chat service on iPhones. The application can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
WhatsApp is continuously being developed, so it is always worth picking the latest version from the App Store. New features often appear in beta before rolling out to all users.
Tips for WhatsApp
Anyone can send an app, but WhatsApp has more to offer than that. The chat app is packed with features that make apping that little bit more enjoyable. Take silent notifications for example. Thanks to this feature, you won’t be distracted all the time by the sound of incoming messages. Also very nice to do is making your own stickers for WhatsApp.
