WhatsApp just added an interesting feature to its Android version: now you can add a <\/span>description to any group.<\/b> This way, you\u2019ll have space to define the subject of every group you\u2019re in.<\/span><\/p>\n

To enable this feature, <\/span>just go to any group, tap on its name and then \u201cAdd a group description.\u201d <\/b>You\u2019ll 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike other features that only admins can edit in WhatsApp groups, the group description can be <\/span>written by any member.<\/b><\/p>\n

Needless to say, it\u2019s 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, <\/span>you should never share private info in this space<\/b>, such as addresses, third-party phone numbers and other sensitive info.<\/span><\/p>\n
