As per details, this new feature was tested at the start of the ongoing year. The new discussion group feature will allow organizations, clubs, and many other groups to communicate in a better and more organized way.
Communities are designed to help organizations, clubs, schools, and other private groups better communicate and stay organized. They include admin controls, support for sub-groups and announcement groups, 32-person voice and video calls, larger file sharing, emoji reactions, and polls. Communities can accommodate groups of up to 1024 users and provide end-to-end encryption. Some of the Community features, such as emoji reactions, large file sharing (up to 2GB), and the ability for administrators to delete messages, had already made their way to the WhatsApp platform prior to today’s launch.
Earlier, the Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp developed a series of new features to improve the user experience on its forum. The ‘create call link’ was the latest addition to the list, but how does it work?
Moreover, people are drawing comparisons between Facebook and WhatsApp after these new updates as they both support things like sub-groups, file sharing, and admin functionality.
But WhatsApp has different functionalities as it is specific to people you know in real life, unlike Facebook where these groups are used by disconnected strangers.

The purpose of the new feature is to make it possible for all WhatsApp users to join a call by just clicking on a link. A similar feature is available on Zoom and other platforms.
WABetainfo said, “You can even select the call type (voice or video) when you create a link for a call, and when more than two persons join the call, the connection automatically becomes a group call.
Additionally, calls made utilizing a link are still end-to-end encrypted, meaning that anyone who didn’t join the call cannot hear what is being spoken on it.”
