Loved this, thanks for showing the screenshots of the mobile to explain the hierarchy of information between Groups & Community. Thank you very much for this video.
1. i started a community...how can groups find me??? 2. 1 x community can hold 50 groups of 1000 users...does that mean you build a community of 50 000 people? 3. how do i find groups and how do i make my group public...
Can people chat within the group and post things? I want the individual groups within the community to be free and open for people the post things? Does it have to go through an admin within the groups?
how to I allow chat between all the people in a group? I set up a small group and they are asking me to allow them to submit chats and they are not able.... I have an Apple.... I have watched a bunch of these videos and no one addresses this
Some questions: Joining a community is still based on a phonenumber, right? So when I make a community I need phonenumbers from all members? Or can I send invites by email for example? And when I add members, can they see phonenumbers from other members like in the WhatsApp group option? Why I am asking. I wanna start up a community with different groups for workshops. But the members/clients don't know each other so I wanna take care of their privacy.
Im trying to find someone who had been posting videos on UA-cam, but he switched to Whatsapp. The UA-cam channel was called Pet Goose George. Is there a way to search for him using Whatsapp. I'm assuming that he uses the same Pet Goose George name in Whatsapp. Thanks.
Very helpful thanks Meg 😍. I just created and used my first community for Scouts adding in about 15 WhatsApp groups. Took a little while but worth the effort because now everyone receives new information at the same time as each other. I also used the QR codes to create an info graphic to make joining effortless.
dude hello...those groups you added...how did you find them and how did you add them...i started a community and have no clue what i am doing??? i need help!!!
So you that means whomever you add to a community has access to all the groups on the community? For instance if it’s a group and you have say a management group on the community , anyone on the community can got on that group?
I've created a community group with chat groups A, B & C. Whenever chat group A people text each other within their own chat, it pings a message notification on the community group instead of their own chat group A. This can be confusing as it gives the impression that the message was sent to the community group by admin. And implication is, all the ppl may be concerned if their messaging activities are also seen by others. And then also when there’s a new message on a group, you open the community first and then the group chat. How to get the individual chat groups' text stay out of the community radar and appears only in their own chat groups?
Hi there, thank you for your post. Just as a matter of interest can I use the Community/group set-up as a way to follow threads and discussions. Eg. I have run an online Bible Study and and currently using Google Meets and then I use my WhatsApp group for announcements and also discussions but as you would imagine it its difficult following threads of different questions asked and the discussions around these? I remember a few years back coming across an app that was specifically developed around that scenario but that app has since disappeared like the disappearing messages 🤷♂
Hi Megs Question - What is the situation about people seeing peoples numbers from other groups that sit within the community? Just slightly concerned about setting one up and the privacy settings. If someone is in group A can they see that Group B exists? Can they see the posts in Group B, can they see the members in Group B? Thanks
So I have multiple groups for my online coaching business. If I add them to a community I don’t want people to be able to choose a group that they can join as I’ve specifically put people into different groups. I also don’t want people to be able to see what goes into individual groups unless they are a member. Is this possible?
Thanks Megs! If there is more then one group in a community, can members in that community join any group within that community? Or are the groups still closed?
#feelingold If I am creating a community from scratch, and groups from scratch, would I start by adding my members to the group? Would they then by default be members of the community? I obviously want all members to receive the announcements, which ever group they are in. Or do I need to add them to the community, then they decide on the group they want to join?
i created test 1 n test 2 groups but in drop down menu i selected communities (android right hand side) but it does not show New Community or add Community. How do I make a community and announcement?
can whatsapp community admins hide their phone numbers from the members. I don't want my phone number to be available to thousands of people and whatsapp would not let me create a separate account with Google Voice
Hi Megs, thank you for the info, very exciting as a school headmaster. A question I have is, can you have a closed group in the community that noone other than the invited members can access? If i have my Leadership team on it with information that shouldn’t be accessible by anyone outside of the group, is this a possibbility? Thank you again.
I would love to use this to better organise our school parents! If we created a group for each classroom, is there a way to "lock" the group, so only members of that group/parents of that class can see and access that chat?
Great video! I have multiple groups which have some members overlapping (one or more persons are in more than one of said groups). If I create a community with these groups, will the overlapping members just receive one message or will they receive the same message the same number of times they each overlap from the different groups?
It looks like a "Group" function. Create a new group, add some users to it, & then message the group & everyone in the group gets the message. Is there anything more to it than that?
Just subscribed because wow 👌🏾 👏🏽. Hi Meg I'm a bit lost my organization would like to use this please can you help me understand again 1. Why we get two groups when creating community's 2. And you mentioned adding groups in the community on your tutorial with +/- 500 groups who administrators all of them or can you make admins as the creator 3. I like the group video function that will really help
This was incredibly helpful! So well articulated and presented. I was looking for a straight forward example and you NAILED IT!
You are toooo kind! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind and supportive comment 🥹
Please I find it difficult adding more than 5 groups. What happened?
Very informative and right to the point video. Thank you Megs!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🔥🔥🔥
Great video, what type of communities have you made that are the most engaged?
Loved this, thanks for showing the screenshots of the mobile to explain the hierarchy of information between Groups & Community. Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you so much Cinthia! 🥰 I really appreciate your support and comment 🌺
New members can they only be in the community without been a member of any whatsap group. Like they only interested for announcements only
1. i started a community...how can groups find me???
2. 1 x community can hold 50 groups of 1000 users...does that mean you build a community of 50 000 people?
3. how do i find groups and how do i make my group public...
Thank you very much for this Meg. Very informative.🙏🥰
Thanks for the information.😊 WhatsApp is really giving us convenience 👌🏾
New subscriber here! Thanks for your content. Please keep the videos coming.

That is awesome Nic! Wow. What a great use case for it.

@@madmarkie100 just hit create icon, create “new community” and add you relevant groups.
I would add a pic if allowed.
@@NicCunliffe how do groups i do not belong too find my community?

Can you post from a camera or tablet feed directly to a WA group, Conmunity Announcement or indeed to a Channel (which I am currently using)
Thanks. Very useful video.

This is the same question that I have and don’t find any answer 🫤

I also don’t want people to be able to see what goes into individual groups unless they are a member. Is this possible?
Thanks Megs! If there is more then one group in a community, can members in that community join any group within that community? Or are the groups still closed?
I opened a community but the members cannot engage in the chat. How do you use the chat in a community?
For a second i thought it was a feature like a community on reddit that gives the possibility to meet new people. 😂
Very cool thanks ... so awesome for all the school whatsapp groups I have to manage ....from beautiful sunny Cape Town 😃
Yay Janice then this is brilliant news for you!!! I’m also in CT 💓🤗 sending all the love and good vibes 🌱

are you perhaps using a whatsapp business account? businesses aren’t able to create communities
can whatsapp community admins hide their phone numbers from the members. I don't want my phone number to be available to thousands of people and whatsapp would not let me create a separate account with Google Voice
Hi, does it allow us to have a privacy mode so members are hidden from others unless they are admin?
Hi Megs, thank you for the info, very exciting as a school headmaster. A question I have is, can you have a closed group in the community that noone other than the invited members can access?

Hey I’m on a similar quest! Any discoveries and advice you can share with me? Thanks
can members in the community become "friends" with each other?
can we create more than one community from the same account and same android device? If yes How?
I would love to use this to better organise our school parents! If we created a group for each classroom, is there a way to "lock" the group, so only members of that group/parents of that class can see and access that chat?
You can add up to 50 groups not 500.
Can the members see other members in the group?!
Great video! I have multiple groups which have some members overlapping (one or more persons are in more than one of said groups). If I create a community with these groups, will the overlapping members just receive one message or will they receive the same message the same number of times they each overlap from the different groups?
May someone please explain how do I archive these communities from appearing my chats
Please how can I make community call
It looks like a "Group" function. Create a new group, add some users to it, & then message the group & everyone in the group gets the message. Is there anything more to it than that?
WhatsApp Communities vs. WhatsApp Groups (what’s the difference?!)
I can’t search or join any
I see no option other than to start a community. How do I just search for communities in my area? I fucking hate apps.
South African right? Cheers Megs

Just subscribed because wow 👌🏾 👏🏽. Hi Meg I'm a bit lost my organization would like to use this please can you help me understand again
1. Why we get two groups when creating community's
2. And you mentioned adding groups in the community on your tutorial with +/- 500 groups who administrators all of them or can you make admins as the creator
3. I like the group video function that will really help
1. There is an announcements channel where only Admins can send messages so they are not buried beneath all the reactions of people afterwards.
U r soo sweet and cute
Please say in hindi.
Why are you smiling so much ?
Is there a way keeping the community admin cell number private to all the groups
