WhatsApp is releasing the ability to create communities to select Android users. According to an Android Police report, Mark Zuckerberg announced WhatsApp Communities — to create sub-groups within groups — in April this year.
WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo announced the release and added that it earlier spotted a communities tab within WhatsApp Desktop. WhatsApp Communities are not discoverable like Facebook Group. TechCrunch reported that users have to be invited to join a Community.
According to WABetaInfo, the communities tab will appear instead of the camera tab to select users. It allows users to create a community by adding up to ten groups called sub-groups, supporting 512 participants. The platform is working to hide mobile numbers of participants in sub-groups of a community.
The instant messaging platform, focusing on privacy features, is working on the ability to let users hide their online status on desktop beta.
