WhatsApps finally recognizing that people use the chat app as more than a personal communication tool.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
But to prepare for the community, WhatsApp is rolling out some other new features across the app.
How do all of these features stack up against other apps?
Case in point:Ephemeral messagesandpolls.
Telegram already has some of the above-mentioned features.
For instance, Telegram has1,000-people group calls, emoji reactions, and the ability to send 1.5GB files.
But WhatsApps marquee new feature, Communities, is akin to creating Discord or Slack servers.
The Communities feature will let them access all these groups in one place under a dedicated tab.
While its easy to say Why not use Slack?
Notably, individual groups even if theyre part of a community will operate just like before.
So you will see them in your main chat tab.
I wish WhatsApp would introduce a function to toggle this.
So, what are you waiting for, Zuck?
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
He likes to say “Bleh.
