WhatsApp: what is the new icon that appeared instead of the camera for?

WhatsApp has just released an update for Android devices and iOS which included several novelties. One of them, which did not go unnoticed by users, is that there was a redesign that caused the camera icon to disappear and instead we see another one with the appearance of three people. What is it for?

In their official blog, WhatsApp developers indicated that the new icon allows the use of the Communities function, which allows us to organize our groups by different themes in order to maintain order.

One of the most interesting features of Communities is that it will allow administrators to send messages to all groups or only to the members they prefer.

“We believe that the Communities option will make it easier for a school principal to share the most important updates with all parents, and create separate groups for specific classes, extracurricular activities or volunteer needs”, points out the company on its blog.

For now, the camera icon has disappeared from the instant messaging app; However, images filtered by Wabetainfo reveal that it would appear again, only in another location. Your new place would be at the top, next to the magnifying glass icon.
