If you’re an admin of several related groups, you can aggregate those groups into a community so that you can search and manage those groups efficiently. Suppose you have many educational groups like class 9, class 10, class 11, class 12, etc. and you are the admin of those groups. In that case, you can create a community called “School” on WhatsApp and bring those class groups to this community.

The WhatsApp Communities feature is now available to all users and you will be able to see it as a separate tab menu on the WhatsApp main screen. So let’s go and create a WhatsApp community.
