Facebook Messenger gets WhatsApp like ‘Communities’

In 2022, WhatsApp introduced a new feature called ‘Communities’ that made communication easier and more organised. Now, the company is silently adding the functionality to Facebook Messenger.

While Facebook users can already talk to others on the platform in real-time using Community Chats, the new functionality offers a new dedicated space where Messenger users can text each other even if they are not connected by a Facebook Group.
