Moshe GrunwaldJooish Groups WhatsApp wasn't built for news, it's for chatting. When communities use it for updates, things get messy: • It's intermingled with your personal chats • No way to browse before joining • Admins (and sometimes all members) can see your phone number • Bloats the storage on your device because images and videos are downloaded. Jooish Groups are different: • Privacy first. Join groups without sharing your phone number or email with admins or other members. • Explore freely. Browse public groups and read what's being shared before you decide to join. • Native news experience. Jooish News posts shared in groups open directly in the reader view. • Shareable messages. Every message can be shared as a link. Forward it anywhere.

12:36 AMMoshe GrunwaldHow updates work You might see updates posted here but don’t yet see it in your app. Here is how it works and how to get the latest updates: Lots of updates are pushed out directly to the app without going through the App Store or Google Play. When you start the app, it checks for updates. If an update is available it download it. The next time the app restarts, it uses the new version. This means that if you have the app running for a while, you won’t be using the latest version. You might see me posting about a feature but you won’t see it in your app. You can use this page to check if there are any updates available. If there is, it’ll ask you if you want to restart the app. https://jooish.app/settings/updates
