WhatsApp New Features
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the global rollout of Communities on WhatsApp on Thursday. The update will allow users to have separate groups under one “Community” to organize group conversations on the Meta-owned instant messaging service.
This will enable users to receive updates sent to the entire Community and organize smaller discussion groups on what matters to them, according to Meta. Communities will include new tools for admins, including announcement messages that are sent to everyone and control over which groups can be included.
Mark Zuckerberg Announced New Whatsapp Features
Today we’re launching Communities on WhatsApp. It makes groups better by enabling sub-groups, multiple threads, announcement channels, and more. We’re also rolling out polls and 32-person video calling too. All secured by end-to-end encryption, so your messages stay private, Zuckerberg said in a prepared statement.
Whatsapp Group Poll Feature
In addition to Communities, groups on WhatsApp are getting a group poll feature. The functionality lets users create polls within the group quickly with the ability to vote. Such like Facebook Messenger and Telegram currently allow users to add group polls. WhatsApp’s poll feature will be protected by end-to-end encryption.
Whatsapp New Video Call Features
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has also announced that group video calls on the platform are getting support for up to 32 participants. WhatsApp currently lets you add up to 32 participants to group voice calls on both Android and iOS, and the same limit will now apply to group video calls.
Group Member Size Increased in Whatsapp
Social Media Platform WhatsApp is also increasing the group size limit from 512 members to 1024 members. The new feature will benefit enterprises and businesses to send messages to multiple people at the same time. The cap had increased from 256 to 512 earlier this year. Meanwhile, Telegram allows users to add up to 200000 people to the group. However, unlike WhatsApp, these group chats are not protected by end-to-end encryption.
