WhatsApp groups have brought diverse people together. If you use WhatsApp, then you would be part of at least one group, if not more. What are the best WhatsApp groups that you can join?

We all know the point of such groups, yet with so many members, the result is always the same: message overload.

This happens with every single messaging app and the groups created on it. Whatsapp has therefore recently introduced a new feature to prevent this from happening. Group admins now have the possibility to turn off messaging for group members.
