In the process of making Whatsapp a better platform for its users, WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature for its Android and Windows mobile beta versions. With the update, WhatsApp will add a new feature which is the “Add group description“.
The group description feature is now available and it enables Group administrators to add or edit a description indicating what the group is all about with the maximum character limit of 500 characters. (WhatsApp Group Description Update Now Available)
All the group members and invitees can have a brief sense of the group’s purpose and activities before joining (this is public in case an invite link was sent or shared) at the top of the Group Info Section. (WhatsApp Group Description Update Now Available)
This option is expected to be available for iOS users anytime soon. Any member of the group can have access to edit the group description text, although WhatsApp might be looking to restrict access to admins or members in the future updates. (WhatsApp Group Description Update Now Available)
This update is available on WhatsApp beta version 2.18.54 on Android and WhatsApp beta version 2.18.28 on Windows Phone. (WhatsApp Group Description Update Now Available)
