WABetaInfo announced its new feature for Communities in the article it shared on its blog account today. WhatsApp will now allow its users to reply to messages via Communities. But since Community members don’t see other members, a question mark arises here. Because Community members can’t react to messages because they can’t see each other anyway. So how will this happen? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp will continue not to show Community members with masking
Since the Communities feature is only announcement-oriented, WhatsApp does not show members to each other and prevents sending messages outside of the admin. For this reason, members cannot add a reaction to the message received in the Community, as in groups. WhatsApp has also started working on the masking feature to solve this problem for Communities.
Thanks to a new masking feature for Communities, WhatsApp will somehow hide Community members, as the name suggests. Thanks to masking, it will be possible to react to messages while the numbers still remain hidden.
When the innovation comes to the stable version, it will say that it needs to update to add emoji to Communities with a title like the image above. However, it is not yet clear when the masking for Communities will start to be made in the stable version of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp cares about the privacy of Community members for security reasons. Because if the members of the Community see each other, there is almost no difference from the groups. It can also pose a danger to Communities when members with high participation such as school and work see each other.
Instant messaging app WhatsApp is also working on the View Text Once feature. In this way, WhatsApp users will send messages to be viewed once, as in photos.
