It's been a while since the original announcement in April008 Archives but WhatsApp's Communities are now live.
Well, sort of.
In a blog post, the company said that Communities are starting to roll out on WhatsApp globally, but they will be available to everyone "over the next few months" (I've checked my WhatsApp apps and I don't yet see the feature).
Communities are super-groups which can unite multiple groups and users over one topic. WhatsApp suggests that the feature would work best for neighborhoods, parents at a school, and workplaces.
If you did get the feature in your WhatsApp, you'll see a new "Communities" tab on top (on Android) or at the bottom (on iOS). You can then start a new Community or add existing groups to a Community you've previously created.
WhatsApp points out that Communities are protected by end-to-end encryption, which is not the case with Slack and Discord, for example.
WhatsApp also recently added a few new unrelated features, including the ability to create polls. Groups have also been expanded to accommodate as many as 1,024 users, and video calls can now host 32 people.
