WhatsApp for companies will have the ability to create Communities

17 Feb. (Portaltic/EP) –

WhatsApp is working on a new capability for Business that will allow users of these accounts to create Communities, as seen in the latest beta for Android.

Meta, owner of the messaging platform, announced this functionality in April of last year, when it presented it as a new section that I would bring together the conversation groups in one place that revolve around a theme or a common social space.

It was not until August when it began to implement this feature thanks to the version of WhatsApp for Android 2.22.19.3, with which it began to have the option of creating communities of up to ten group chats, organized into subgroups with a capacity of up to 512 participants.

At the moment, the Communities option is available for Android, iPhone, web and Desktop, although only in the standard version. Now, WhatsApp is working on bringing this tool to its version for companies or WhatsApp Business.

Some users of this format can already see the ‘Communities’ button in the application menu, as they have warned WABetaInfo in the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android 2.23.4.14, available on the Google Play Store.

This portal has advanced that entrepreneurs and business owners will thus be able to create Communities from this section, that is, a procedure the same as that already existing in the standard version of the application.
