WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will make it possible to transfer community ownership. This feature will allow administrators to transfer ownership and responsibilities to another member.
WhatsApp makes it easier to transfer community ownership
WhatsApp started testing the ability to transfer channel ownership a few months ago. Now it’s extending this functionality to communities, and it’s been spotted in the Android 2.24.11.18 beta update.
Discovered by WABetaInfo, this new feature indicates that WhatsApp will offer the ability to delegate main admin privileges and tasks in communities to another member.
When an admin decides to delegate community ownership, they will have to agree to hand over their privileges and responsibilities for any group chat in the community. The admin who relinquishes ownership will retain their admin status even if they are removed from the community by the new owner.
As this feature is still under development, it is not known when it will be generally available. But when it does, it will simplify the ownership transfer process for people who need to step down due to time constraints or other reasons.
Microsoft's new Copilot app has arrived on Windows 11's desktop, causing some controversy among testers. Here are the details!
This wasn’t the only new feature to appear this week. WhatsApp is also working on a feature that will allow users to clear the number of unread messages when they open the app. This will be especially useful for users with heavy messaging traffic.
WhatsApp’s new ownership transfer feature seems to make community management more flexible and user-friendly. Such innovations are especially important to adapt to the dynamic structure of communities and to make management changes smooth. What do you think?
