If any sticker is deemed inappropriate or harmful, it can be reported to Meta. Furthermore, these stickers bear a unique identifier, making them distinguishable from manually crafted stickers. The feature should roll out to more users in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp is also rolling out a new ‘Communities’ feature with its WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.17.15 .This feature will allow users to recommend groups to add to a community.
This way, community members can bring in new groups that share their interests. Community administrators will have a special section where all the recommended groups will be listed.
To suggest a group, community members just need to go to the community screen, view its groups, and use the provided button to add a new group. However, these suggested groups need approval from admins before they become part of the community.
