Will #Whatsapp Pinned Message to Groups be helpful?
With Whatsapp becoming the world's most communicating tool, it is evident being used by individuals, a group of people and businesses.
Whatsapp Groups has been very instrumental in connecting people, whether its families, friends, communities, workforce and many more.
Whether we like it or not, if we are on whatsapp - rarely you will be someone who is not part of a group.
Now a days, I have seen groups being formed for a specific activity, event or a cause. Unlike a regular group, we create these groups - connect relevant people - meet its objectives and then Delete the Group.
What I observed in such groups is:
- Objectives of the Group has to be explained multiple times
- Many members ask the same question
- New Members need to be informed of the purpose all over again.
Was thinking to avoid this - there might be a need of an app for such events / causes to enhance proper communication.
But then... I thought a PINNED MESSAGE can solve it much better than a new app or different complex solution.
Though Group Pic & Status help a bit - I guess a Pinned Message might be much helpful.
- Anyone who joins can refer to it during entire duration of group is active
- Admins will have ability to change the content of pinned message or Image as required at different phases.
- No more repetition of same Q&A by the members which irritates rest of the group.
Anyways, just a thought - Do tell me if its a valuable feature for you as a whatsapp user or a group admin? If you know any other simpler solution - do leave a comment. Its always good to hear simple solutions solving bigger problems.
