These changes may also apply to Facebook and Instagram.
There are some pretty significant changes, such as the one used for the standard ebb and flow of WhatsApp group chats.
According to the official blog post, WhatsApp has announced that these group chats will be revamped and will be called “community.” This brings some changes to the average user, but also some new features.

What exactly does this mean for current group chat users? The company says communities allow you to combine multiple chats “under one roof” to personalize your taste.
“This allows people to receive updates sent to the wider community and easily form small discussion groups on topics that are important to them,” he wrote.
Meta Adds Feature to WhatsApp Community B. Give Moderators More Permissions to Delete Messages and Protect Messages with End-to-End Encryption It also adds reactive emoji to reduce chat chaos, increases file share size to 2GB, and expands voice chat capabilities to 32 people at a time.
Much more important? According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, these changes will likely apply across the company’s suite of messaging networks, as announced in a personal Facebook post.
That said, while Zuckerberg hasn’t revealed a timeline for the change, Facebook Messenger and Instagram are likely to introduce communities in the near future.
For WhatsApp Communities, the company plans to begin testing “in the coming weeks” and ultimately roll out the feature globally.

What does this mean exactly for current group chat users? The company says Communities allows them to combine multiple chats “under one umbrella” to suit their individual tastes.
“That way, people can receive updates sent to the entire Community and easily organize smaller discussion groups on what matters to them,” they wrote.
Meta is adding features to WhatsApp Communities to combat misinformation and toxic behavior, such as giving moderators more power to delete messages and protecting messages with end-to-end encryption. They are also adding reaction emojis to reduce chat clutter, upping the file-sharing size to 2GB, and increasing voice chat capabilities to 32 people simultaneously.
