WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android devices with version 2.24.17.5. This beta update brings a new feature to WhatsApp that allows community admins to control the visibility of specific group chats.

According to the WABetaInfo, the fresh WhatsApp beta update introduces a visibility feature for community group chats. Now, community admins can choose to hide certain group chats from the general view when creating new groups.

With the visibility option, only invited members and community admins will be able to see these hidden groups. This setting ensures that sensitive or exclusive discussions remain private.

Once a group is set to hide, its visibility cannot be changed after it has been added to the community. This helps to maintain the confidentiality of certain discussions within the community.

Previously, WhatsApp had announced plans to develop a feature to manage the visibility of community group chats. Now, with the release of version 2.24.17.5, this feature is being tested by some beta users.

With the fresh WhatsApp version, the new feature makes it possible to better manage and organize community interactions. Notably, it is available to select beta testers who update to WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.17.5 via the Google Play Beta Program. The feature will be rolled out to more users over the coming days.

Aside from this feature, WhatsApp Beta users are also testing the Group Description option for communities. Admins can now choose to describe what your group is about to help members understand what to expect before joining. However, it is not mandatory so you can leave it blank.
