Not only from WhatsApp but live communities. Meta announced that WhatsApp will include a new community feature in April, and it has now done the same with Facebook Messenger. In either case, the announcement has no specific date, but is “later”, so it remains to be seen where it ends up before.

Facebook Messenger communities will be a bit like WhatsApp: chat groups with a common theme and accessible from your app. This is a takeaway version of Facebook groups, but focused on chats.

Communities on Facebook Messenger

Mark Zuckerberg has announced that chat communities are coming soon on Facebook Messenger. one way to users in a group communicate in an organized manner and theoretically focused on a single theme. Facebook Messenger already lets you talk to groups of people in a simple way, but chat communities will go a step further.

Messenger chat communities will allow users in a group interact in real time, via chat, audio and video, via comments instead of doing it in the bio. Now Meta has decided to make this type of communication more independent of Messenger and the main Facebook app.

In a way, Messenger communities will work much like Discord, Slack or, if we go back further, what a lifetime forum does. Can create a Facebook group a community of diverse conversations, with different but related themes. For example, one neighborhood group can create chats for news, another for event suggestions, and another for party planning. Each functions as an individual group chat.

We will have various types of chat for them. event chats, read-only chats -where only admins can write- or chat channels where it’s also possible to add videos if you wish. Community administrators can configure these chats and their privacy at any time.

When Messenger communities go live, building a community with a group from the app itself to invite members you want to be a part of later on. Then it’s time to add thematic chats that belong to that community and work just like any other Messenger chat group.

All this comes advanced auditing optionsFor example, we may automatically suspend certain accounts as soon as certain criteria are met. Facebook has announced that it is now starting to test these communities, so there is no specific date for it to arrive on our mobiles. We’ll know when they arrive, because the interface will change to accommodate them.
