As per yetanother reportbyWABetaInfo, Whatsapp Business is going to add an option forBusiness accounts to add a cover photo, along with their profile picture. The feature is being tested on WhatsApp Business for iOS and will be similar to how users can set a cover photo on Facebook.
In a shared screenshot, the tipster shows anew camera button in the Business profile settingssection. Clicking on this will allow users to upload or capture a cover photo.
However, you should know thatthis feature might not make it to the original WhatsApp app. Although, it could reach WhatsApp Business for Android. Since it’s still under development, it remains to be seen what WhatsApp decides to do.
That said, non-Business WhatsApp users shouldn’t be disappointed. The messaging app is testing a new Communities feature, information regarding which has popped up again.Another reportbyWABetaInforeveals thatCommunities will be a place for groupadmins to bring all the WhatsApp groups they manage to a single place.
With this, they will also be able to send bulk messages to all the groups’ members at once, through a dedicated Announcement group. Asrevealed previously, the section will let admins have more control over the groups they handle andwill be end-to-encrypted. Admins will also be able to invite people to Communities and users can also manually join them via a link or QR code, much like a group can be joined.
This feature is being tested for both iOS and Android, and we need to wait for it to become official for the general users. We will update you on this, so stay tuned.
