COMMUNITY HOME
The latest news about WhatsApp Communities was the ability to add groups to communities, another feature under development.
Today, thanks to the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.4.1 update, we have discovered that WhatsApp is working on a new feature called "Community Home", available in a future update:
As you can see in this screenshot, Community Home is a new WhatsApp section and it contains all groups linked to a certain WhatsApp community. Thanks to Community Home, the user will be also able to manage the groups by certain options (they are unknown at the moment) that would help group admins to manage their WhatsApp groups better. The feature is under development and it will be released in a future update of WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS.
In addition, WhatsApp has also added two new localizations: Amharic (an Afro-Asiatic language) and Somali (the official language of Somalia, Somaliland, and Ethiopia). WhatsApp is now supporting more than 40 languages!
