WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging service out there. Now, in the latest beta, the company is exploring whether to remove direct access to the camera. currently only accessible by swiping left to right.

The new feature WhatsApp is working on is Communities

WhatsApp communities correspond to a function that the service has been considering implementing for some time. Basically, they correspond to general groups on specific topics.

Additionally, with this move, it looks like the company will totally bet on this new functionality since direct access to the camera from the main menu has been there for years. So much so that the menus at the top will now look like this: communities, chats, states and calls.

Whats up they have big plans for their community, when he even creates his own widget to turn it on, just like he did with his camera at one point. Now it remains only to see if giving them all this importance is worth it, because it even developed a special widget for the camera.

We will see this new functionality on both Android and iOS soon, but there is no date at this time. probably not too long to see this new functionality in future updates.
