WhatsApp continues to improve the user experience on its platform by adding new features. The company is currently working on a new community tab for its app, according to the most recent of such developments. A feature tracker revealed the information, stating that the feature will allow group admins to add specific groups to a “Community.” These groups will then be grouped together under the Community tab.
According to WABetaInfo, the messaging platform is currently working on a community Tab feature. The feature was discovered in WhatsApp beta version 2.22.6.9 for Android. Although the feature is currently unavailable, the feature tracker shared a screenshot of the Community tab icon.
It is said that Community Tab is a shortcut for the “Community Home” feature, currently under works. Communities are likely to be end-to-end encrypted private spaces that will allow group admins to have better control over their groups.
Other than this, WhatsApp has pushed a new feature in its latest Beta version. This allows beta testers on Android to pause and resume voice recording, as per the feature tracker. The Android users who are currently signed up for the beta version of WhatsApp can update to version 2.22.6.9 to experience the new feature. It’s worth noting that the latest version shows voice waveforms when recording a voice note.

The Community feature has yet to be tested by WhatsApp. When that happens, beta testers will be able to use it before it is rolled out to the general public. Because WhatsApp hasn’t revealed any details about this feature, it’s impossible to say when it’ll be available to the general public.
