"WhatsApp groups are increasingly an extension of our real-world networks, some of which are far closer than others," the Meta-owned app said in its blog post about the feature. "We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature, like talking about health challenges in a support group or organizing your community about something important to you."
