Notably, ahead of this year in April, WhatsApp launched its much-anticipated WhatsApp Community. This enables the group admins to bring multiple similar groups under one head for flexibility. Although the feature had one drawback when the groups were segregated together, and members were then added to another large common group. Then everyone could see every other member’s contact number.
Therefore, this vanquishes the purpose of being separate groups in the first place, which ultimately gave rise to spam calls. While it appears WhatsApp developers were not unaware of it, and subsequently working on it. Also, this new feature is under development on WhatsApp Beta for Android.
