WhatsApp has released the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2. 21. 24.3 update. However, we cannot say that the new version brings new features. Only a contact is missing from the contact image in the group icon. So, why did WhatsApp make this change?
Last week, we announced that WhatsApp is working on the ‘communities’ feature. Thus, platform administrators will have more authority over groups. These communities are similar to groups, but different. A feature for grouping groups.
We can give an example to explain this issue better. Think of a course center as a community. Within these communities, there will be groups. Groups will separate the classes in the course. So while the big group will be communities, there will be groups in it.
The icon for the Communities feature has also appeared. Accordingly, it was seen that the community icons were square and had rounded edges to distinguish communities from group chat. According to the news source, WhatsApp seems to want to use the old group icon for communities. The new icon is already in use for beta testers. Unfortunately, it is not clear when the communities feature will be released.
