How WhatsApp's Community Navigation Feature Helps Users Better Organise Their Groups
Key Highlights :
WhatsApp, the instant messaging application owned by Facebook, is reportedly rolling out a new feature that will help users better organise their chat groups. This community navigation feature will allow users to group all sub-groups of a community together, making it easier for users to navigate and access the specific group they are looking for.
The new feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.9.16 update. This update also includes a reply with a message feature for call notifications. WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported this update.
The community navigation feature is an important addition to the application as it provides users with a better way to navigate their groups. Before the update, users had difficulty distinguishing between multiple groups with the same name, but that belonged to different communities. This could lead to confusion and make it difficult for users to find and access the group they were looking for.
With the new update, all sub-groups are now listed under their respective communities, even within the chat list. This makes it easier for users to identify and access the right group. There is also a similar feature that helps users navigate through the list of sub-groups of a certain community right within the conversation header.
The community navigation feature is available for some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta for Android update from the Play Store. WhatsApp plans to roll out this feature to more users over the coming days.
In related news, WhatsApp is also rolling out a feature to add a description to forwarded media. With this feature, users can send an additional message after removing the current caption of the forwarded media. The official changelog still mentions the ability to create your own custom stickers, announced in the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.7.82 update. It also confirms that it’s possible to add a new message when you remove the caption from a forwarded media.
The community navigation feature is a great addition to WhatsApp as it helps users better organise their chat groups. With this feature, users can easily find and access the group they are looking for without any confusion. This update is currently available to some beta testers and will be rolled out to more users over the coming days.
