Great news for users of thebest Android phonesandbest iPhonescomes courtesy of WhatsApp, which has just confirmed that its long-promised Communities feature is now rolling out to all users of those handsets.
As confirmed on theofficial WhatsApp blog, Communities is designed for private groups – think clubs, schools and other reasonably sized communities – to communicate more easily, and it features a selection of tools for making announcements and sharing important information.
The new features are rolling out from today, and there are also some improvements for those of us who won’t be using Communities too.

New features to make WhatsApp group chats better
Meta has also announced that it’s introducing Polls, which it describes as “a fun and effective way to make decisions in a group without spamming everyone in the chat”. And you can now have video chats with up to 32 people at once.
WhatsApp has also upped the maximum size of groups: you can now have 1024 users, and you’ll have access to the same improved file sharing and admin deletion tools as Communities admins.
The new features are available for iPhones andAndroidphones and should be rolling out imminently: I don’t see the updated app in theAppleApp Store just yet but it should appear shortly.
