Several months ago, WhatsApp announced some really big news for all users, like message reactions and even the ability to send files up to 2 GB. Although the list is still pending community system activationsomething they started testing with beta testers.
Throughout these months we have been able to hear many rumors about what these communities will be on WhatsApp, promising above all put an end to the usual mess that exists in groups where there is a large influx of users. Now, as WABetaInfo reports, this feature could finally be very close to being applied to all users, being for the moment in the hands of the usual beta testers.
There are already users testing the new WhatsApp communities
The first thing that people who had the opportunity to try this new feature reported was that, as we knew, the days of the camera tab in WhatsApp are numbered. In this new version, it disappears completely for leave room for a new tab where the communities will be hostedbeing the way to know whether this feature has already arrived on your mobile device or not.
People who can already enjoy this feature have WhatsApp version 2.22.19.3 on Android. Currently in these communities It will be possible to add up to 10 groups which will be called subgroups and which will admit up to 512 participants. Without a doubt, it is something that can recall the Discord communities that can bring together thousands of people, but that within the conversations and information are classified in different channels that these groups can be.

In this case, a person accessing the community can enter one of the subgroups, depending on their professional, educational or simply leisure needs. In case you want to change, you can always get away with it, but without having to leave the whole community. One of the clearest examples might be to have a community in a school with parents, and each subgroup being one of the classes. In this way, teachers will be administrators and parents will only be informed of what interests them, everything being much more organized.

What was detected through this first open beta is that when creating a new community, WhatsApp automatically generates a subgroup called “ads”. In this case, it can be considered a general channel in which administrators can send messages that serve to provide information to all members of the community, regardless of the subgroup to which they belong.
But as we mentioned before, it is a function that is starting to arrive little by little and to a restricted group of users. Depending on the feedback received and its meta stability, you can establish a launch date, which for the moment it is uncertain.
