WhatsApp said it has built a feature called Communities that will allow users to pull together separate groups under a single organization.

With the new feature, community administrators will be able to send messages to all of the groups or control which groups are alerted. The messaging platform company will start testing Communities in various countries throughout the year, in an effort to appeal to clubs with multiple chapters, for instance, or businesses with multiple teams.
