Meta recently launched Communities for Threads, where users can discuss topics of common interest, such as sports, movies, and K-pop.

This new feature is being tested “on over 100 popular topics” and builds on “existing capabilities like personalized feeds and topic tags to help users connect with others who share their passions.”

According to the tech company, these communities represent “casual spaces where members can exchange perspectives and join conversations on specific topics.” Each one features its own “custom Like emoji that represents the topic, such as a stack of books for Book Threads, adding a unique identity to interactions between members.”

With the new feature, Meta users can discover communities through direct search or by tapping community tags on posts in their feed. As on other social networks, “a three-dot icon in topic tags indicates an available dedicated community. When users join a community, it becomes publicly visible, with memberships pinned to the feed menu and tagged on user profiles.”

In addition to this launch, Meta also plans special badges for featured community contributors who are among the most active and engaged users.

Another new feature is the ranking systems within Communities and the For You feed, which will allow users to prioritize the most relevant posts.

WhatsApp launched a new feature that allows you to preserve the privacy of phone numbers within communities, according to WABetainfo.

This feature is currently only available to Beta users and its main purpose is to safeguard users’ privacy by keeping their phone numbers hidden in community chats.

This privacy option has been tested for several months and is now being rolled out to beta users.

Once this privacy feature is enabled, only community chat administrators will be able to access participant phone numbers.

WhatsApp is working on launching an informative tool, in the style of newsletters. With this, a step is taken in the consolidation of the already known functionality of Communities.

It is no secret that social networks have now become the main means of information for people, as well as allowing them to report situations or do marketing.

In this sense, WhatsApp is working on a new information tool, such as a Newsletter, so that Communities can publish information easily and quickly.

Users will have the opportunity to directly select the newsletters, and also announcements, they wish to receive.

Although until now the final name of this tool has not been revealed, it is known that it is included in the latest update of the beta version for Android 2.23.5.3.

They will market the Oravax vaccine in Latin America. The companies Genomma Lab from Mexico and Oramed, an Israeli pharmaceutical company, signed a commercial alliance that will allow them to carry out the necessary tests to sell the oral vaccine against the Covid-19 virus in Mexico. And later they will be extended to all the southern countries of the continent.

Oravax is an oral vaccine that was developed with “three specific proteins that resemble components of the SARS CoV-2 virus, including some proteins that are less susceptible to mutation”. That is why it is considered potentially very effective in protecting against the different variants and future mutations of this virus, which has kept the world practically paralyzed for two years and which once again has Europe as its epicenter.

The commercialization of this vaccine in Latin America would be of great benefit for the prevention of Covid-19 in an expeditious and comfortable way, because it does not require a cold chain for its conservation, nor health centers or special spaces that have been called vaccination centers, since it is only a pill that can be ingested anywhere or at home with a glass of water.

Oral administration of the vaccine could give greater results and safety by minimizing possible side effects. The development of an oral vaccine allows us to envision a future without pandemic and a “return to our normal lives.”

Vulnerable communities will be favored

With the commercialization of the vaccine, many vulnerable communities or populations will benefit mainly due to the logistical difficulties that some states present in accessing remote communities. Rodrigo Herrera, president of the Board of Genomma Lab, indicated: “A vaccine in the form of a pill would allow reaching the most isolated and vulnerable communities quickly and effectively.”

He highlighted the effort that some governments have made to buy vaccines, but distribution in their respective regions and communities has generated a series of major difficulties, limiting the fulfillment of the objectives in the vaccination of the entire population.
