Other Features Added to the WhatsApp Communities
Mark Zuckerberg also announced the addition of more features to improve users' chat experience. The new features on the WhatsApp community include reactions, larger filesharing, polls, links for group or team calls, and more."I believe that close-need communities need private and secure ways of connecting among themselves. With these additional features, WhatsApp is more private and secure than our contenders. I believe more people would get to use our communities starting today," Zuckerberg concluded.
