“Group suggestions”: WhatsApp develops new feature for better communities

A new feature called “group suggestions” is apparently being developed by WhatsApp to improve the community aspect of the app. Users will be able to recommend groups to the administrators of the community using this feature, making it simple for community members to look through and join pertinent groups. The group suggestions functionality has reportedly been discovered in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.14.14, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

This feature’s development includes the addition of a new area where community administrators can approve or disapprove group suggestions submitted by other community members.

The new area would provide admins shortcuts to rapidly approve or reject suggestions. Additionally, group members will have access to the “admin approval” privacy option to provide control over group invitations.

The group suggestions function is said to be designed to help community administrators strengthen their communities by fostering member involvement. The recommended group and its members are automatically added to the community when a recommendation is accepted. Newcomers to the community still have the option to select which additional groups they want to join because the procedure is not automatic.

Currently in development, WhatsApp intends to include the function in a subsequent app version. A new function that enables users to send high-quality films is also being tested by the firm in addition to the group suggestions feature. For those who installed the most recent update, WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.13.0.76, this functionality is accessible.

Users may send high-definition videos thanks to this functionality. Although the movies’ original dimensions are preserved, some compression is still used, prohibiting the transmission of videos in their original, high-quality state. The high-quality option must thus be manually chosen each time a user wants to share a video with higher quality.

Conclusion:

WhatsApp is developing a new feature called “group suggestions” to enhance the community aspect of the app. Users can recommend groups to administrators, making it easier for members to join relevant groups. This feature is available in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.14.14, and includes a new area for administrators to approve or disapprove suggestions. Users can also access the “admin approval” privacy option to control group invitations. The function is designed to help community administrators strengthen their communities and foster member involvement. WhatsApp plans to include this feature in future app versions.
