Chat with more than 1,000 people in a group!
WaBetaInfo’s AccordingWhatsApp users will soon be able to add up to 1,024 people to a group. Earlier this year, this limit was increased from 256 to 512. The report further suggests that the feature is already available on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS. However, it is currently limited to a certain number of beta testers. In such a situation, it is expected that the company can roll out this feature for more users in future updates.
Only information about increasing the numbers has been given in the report. This means that even when a large number of participants are added, groups will still function like small WhatsApp groups.
Of course, business accounts will benefit from larger WhatsApp groups. Along with this, NGOs or other service providing groups can also benefit from this feature.
This number is still many times less than Telegram. Let us tell you that WhatsApp competitor gives the opportunity to add 2,00,000 people in a group.
Apart from this, at the end of last month, WhatsApp had announced to roll out a new feature called Call Links by the end of September. With the help of this feature, users will be able to start a new call or join an already ongoing call. ‘Call Link’ option will be added inside the Call tab. Users will be able to create a link for an audio or video call, which can be easily shared on other platforms.
