A leaked screenshot shows what things consumers can see in the new WhatsApp Beta version. Recently, WhatsApp faced several issues because of its parent company's data-sharing habits.

This new function offers two benefits, which are the following:
- WhatsApp Communities can send announcements to all members of a Communities group chat.
- WhatsApp Communities allow admins to add the groups they manage into one place for easy access.
These two features mean admins can also send messages to all their GCs at once. Experts described the new Communities feature as a private place for admins to have safer conversations.
Aside from this, you can also easily differentiate Communities chat boxes since they have square icons instead of circular ones, which is the standard for normal group chats.
