WhatsApp Community Home feature is currently under development and is not even available for beta users. It will reportedly release in the future for Android beta iOS beta tester first then for the regular WhatsApp users.
WhatsApp Community Home:
A community is a space in the application that will contain multiple groups. These groups can be the old, existing groups, or new groups created specifically for a community. Maybe the user will get invited to a community via a link or a QR code that will be shared publicly or privately by the administrator.
With Community Home, users will also be able to manage the group by certain unknown options that would help group admins to manage their WhatsApp groups better.
Besides the new feature, WhatsApp has also added localization support for Amharic – an Afro-Asiatic language and Somali – the official language of Somalia, Somaliland, and Ethiopia, with the 2.22.4.1 beta update for the Android app. It is now supporting more than 40 languages.

Today, WhatsApp introduced the Screen Sharing feature in its Android Beta activity. Some lucky users have received this new function after updating the Android app to version 2.23.11.19 through Google Play Store.
WhatsApp has reportedly added a new button within the video call control panel. Once enabled, you will be prompted to share your screen with the person connected on the call.
This feature will record and share everything displayed on your screen with the recipient. However, the feature may not work perfectly now as the recipient’s WhatsApp may not be on the latest build of Beta.
In addition, users may notice some minor changes regarding the new bottom navigation bar elements’ arrangement after updating to WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.23.11.19.
Following a successful Beta run, WhatsApp will roll out the new screen-sharing feature and the new placement for tabs within the bottom navigation bar to more users over the coming weeks.

WhatsApp has recently introduced its Wear OS application, making it possible to chat through the wrist. Moreover, the company is continuously testing new features to stay rock solid against the rapidly growing Telegram.
WhatsApp for Android is testing the iOS-like bottom navigation bar on the Beta channel. As spotted by WABetaInfo, the latest v2.23.11.6 build brings a refreshed home screen appears to the messenger, adopting the iPhone-like navigation bar at the bottom.
As the tab options shift to the bottom, the app ditches the ability to switch across tabs with swipe gestures. There are uncertainties about whether the developers will continue to test the new user interface or stop it from hearing negative feedback from the users.
This redesigned interface with a bottom navigation bar is gradually rolling out to more beta testers that install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store. If WhatsApp continues, the new design will appear on more accounts in the coming days.
The report also noted that some users are facing issues like the app crashing post-installation of the latest build. If you are facing the same problem, simply, downgrade to the previous version or wait for a while until WhatsApp rolls out the next build or hotfix update.
