WhatsApp just added an interesting feature to its Android version: now you can add a description to any group. This way, you’ll have space to define the subject of every group you’re in.
To enable this feature, just go to any group, tap on its name and then “Add a group description.” You’ll only have 500 characters, including emojis, to define the group. Click OK and the info will be saved and visible to all members of that group.
Unlike other features that only admins can edit in WhatsApp groups, the group description can be written by any member.
Needless to say, it’s best to play it safe and avoid phrases in bad taste or other descriptions that may be misinterpreted by other group members. And, of course, you should never share private info in this space, such as addresses, third-party phone numbers and other sensitive info.
Keep in mind that if you send the link of your group to a third party, he/she will also see the description, so you and your friends should be careful when sharing info using this new feature.
Do you like this new Whatsapp feature or is it a letdown?
