WhatsApp may soon add new Community feature
WhatsApp is surely one of the biggest messaging platforms throughout. Despite great size and popularity, the app is slow to install features. For instance, many popular IM apps (Instant Messaging) offer seamless chat backup and sync across Android and iOS, but WhatsApp has recently come a long way in allowing iOS users to stream their conversations to Android, and that’s limited to devices on Android.
Even, Samsung Galaxy smartphone also stays in the cart and away from their instructions. However, it is learned that WhatsApp may be working on a new Community feature of its app, and in appearance, it may differ from the current performance of the Groups.
The latest WhatsApp beta v2.21.21.6 comes with several new cables that point to a future feature called “Community”. All of this has new string extensions on WhatsApp, which show activity in the new Community feature. And the Community feature will have a fair share of distinction with the existing feature of the groups.

However, these Community strings are new additions and exist alongside all existing strings related to the Group’s features, indicating that these two elements may be intertwined. In addition, one of these strings goes on to refer to Group and Community in the same definition, adding more weight to the assumption that the two elements will be present simultaneously.
The community may be a social media activity within WhatsApp as an IM app, similar to what the current Facebook Group is. The WhatsApp community can host multiple WhatsApp groups within them, and become a dedicated Channel of message management.
But unlike Channels with admin-only posting that do not promote any conversation, Community posts are more likely to handle wireless responses such as how Telegram allows for responsive responses to its channel posts.
However, as mentioned, know that this is a guess at the end. It is possible that WhatsApp may simply rename the Groups to be called Community, and the string change did not occur with this beta release. There are a few other doubtful possibilities.

WhatsApp is releasing a new beta update for Android, which reveals that the company is developing a new feature that lets users search images on the web. The fresh beta update can be identified through version 2.24.21.31.
The Search images on the web feature of WhatsApp will allow users to check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot misleading or fake content.
When a user wants to search for an image, it will be uploaded to Google, which helps them find similar images or sources online to quickly get more information.
Notably, WhatsApp ensures privacy by not storing or processing these images. While the image is sent to Google for searching, it remains private and secure.
With this new feature, users will be able to use any image, whether sent by a friend or received in a forwarded message for search on the web to verify them online.
In addition to the image search, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to check links in frequently forwarded messages to verify their authenticity.
The image search feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Users can expect more information soon as WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform. Stay Tuned!
