Thanks to the announcement group, community admins can send messages that are always visible to all members of the community.Īt the moment, WhatsApp is working on hiding phone numbers in sub-groups of a community, so other members of the community cannot see your phone number. Community admins can also disable a community if they don’t want to use it anymore, and other members can report the community to WhatsApp if it violates their terms of service.Īfter creating a community, a new group is automatically created by WhatsApp: it is the announcement group.
A community member can choose which sub-group to join based on their personal preferences and they can leave a sub-group without leaving a community. If the communities tab is available (and we recommend killing and re-opening the app after the update to test it), you can already start creating a community by adding up to 10 groups: these groups are called “sub-groups” and they support up to 512 participants. As you can see in this screenshot, it is very easy to understand if the feature is already available to your WhatsApp account: just check if the communities tab shows up instead of the camera tab.
