WhatsApp has established itself as one of the most prominent instant messaging apps in recent times. Today, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the Communities feature for WhatsApp. The community features will be rolled out for Android, iOS, and even the web version of WhatsApp starting today. Six months ago, WhatsApp officially announced that it is working on the communities feature, and it will be available to public soon.

Talking about the WhatsApp Communities feature, it is nothing but a group that will have multiple groups integrated within it. All the users will be able to create a single community and multiple groups inside it. For example, Colleges can make one single community with groups for each of the courses.

As for the usage, the users can just simply tap on the new Communities tab available at the top of the chats on Android phones and at the bottom on iOS devices. The community admins will get the accessibility to sending important updates to everyone in a community. In a single community, WhatsApp users can add up to 50 groups along with the announcement group. In addition to that, a single community can hold up to 5,000 members at a time.
