WhatsApp New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Platform Rolling Out New Feature To Bring Communities Tab to iPad

New Delhi, June 29: Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature to bring a 'communities tab' to iPad. As shown in the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is introducing the communities tab on the iPad app. This feature was previously unavailable on iPad, as it is considered a linked device and has some limitations.

"Users could explore communities within the chats list, but the experience was a bit inconvenient as they had to manually find all communities among other conversations," the report said. Meta AI on WhatsApp: How To Use Meta AI on WhatsApp on Mobile and Web; Check Details.

With the latest update, WhatsApp is addressing this limitation and improving the user experience by enabling iPad users to manage and navigate their communities directly from the app through a dedicated tab, it added. Moreover, the report mentioned that with the communities tab on iPad, users can also create and manage communities directly from the app.

Earlier, it was limited to main devices, which restricted people with an iPad from fully using this feature. A feature to bring a communities tab to iPad is available to some beta testers and will roll out to more people over the coming days, the report said. WhatsApp New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Platform Soon Lets You Dial Numbers to Place Calls Directly From App, Says Report.
