WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has rolled out new updates to enhance the user-friendliness of its community feature. The updates include changes to the announcement group interface for users on iOS and Android. The company renamed the announcement group to “Home” and “Updates” on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS respectively. This decision may have been made because the announcement group is a read-only conversation for community admins, which may not fit the traditional definition of a group. WhatsApp has also moved the community icon to the chat header to improve user interface and consistency with other chats. The new WhatsApp Communities update is available to some users who have installed the latest versions of WhatsApp beta for iOS and Android. The company plans to make it available to more people soon. WhatsApp is also working on a redesigned chat attachment menu for Android beta to enhance user-friendliness.
WhatsApp Introduces Updates for Communities on iOS and Android
WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has made new updates to its community feature to enhance its user-friendliness. The company has recently introduced some changes to the interface of the “announcement group” for users on iOS and Android. The feature allows users to create and join groups of people with similar interests or hobbies.
According to WABetaInfo, the company has renamed the announcement group to “Home” on WhatsApp beta for Android, and its new name is “Updates” on WhatsApp beta for iOS. The renaming decision may have been made because the announcement group is typically a read-only conversation accessible only by community admins, which may not fit the traditional definition of a group.
The new WhatsApp Communities update for iOS and Android provides community admins with a more bug-free experience when posting messages to their community. In addition, WhatsApp has moved the community icon from the bottom bar to the chat header to improve the user interface and maintain consistency with other chats.
The latest WhatsApp Communities update is currently available to some users who have installed the latest versions of WhatsApp beta for iOS and Android. The company plans to make it available to more people in the coming days.
Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a redesigned chat attachment menu for Android beta to enhance user-friendliness. The tweaked chat attachment menu is clearer and offers a better user experience.
