Messenger is getting a new feature that bypasses Facebook itself. Does it suit you?

Meta has introduced communities to Messenger, allowing users to connect with thousands of others without being part of the same Facebook group. Each community includes a dedicated Home space for admins to share updates, and up to 5 people can join via sharable invitations. The main difference between Messenger's communities and WhatsApp's similar feature is the integration with Facebook's social graph, allowing users to invite others based on their Facebook profiles. Additionally, WhatsApp is testing a new feature within communities that will allow users to choose a cover photo for events.
