WhatsApp’s finally recognizing that people use the chat app as more than a personal communication tool… How do all of these new features stack up against other apps? (Slack, Discord, Telegram, community platforms…)

I haven't seen the new WhatsApp features. Have they added new features for communities/business?!

The new communities features are actually pretty sweet but I don't see it as replacing Slack (I'm not as familiar with Telegram and Discord). Slack's functionality with channels and DMs is just a much more complete way to organize community conversations. Whats App communities is cool to connect a bunch of subgroups and organize some conversations but it's not a Slack replacement for sure

When it comes to features, WhatsApp certainly offers a lot of them and they are very helpful. However, they still don't quite compare to some of the more specialized apps like Slack, Discord, and Telegram when it comes to certain features. I find that these apps offer a lot more in terms of customizability and community building. However, I have to say that WhatsApp does have its place and is still a great choice for simple, straightforward communication.

Slack is my favorite app for chatting. I like it organizes conversations and different groups. I don't think WhatsApp compares but then again I haven't really used their new fetaures
