WhatsApp officially increases the group messaging limit to 512 members from 256 previously. Enough to organize the next surprise birthday of a loved one with a little more people than expected.
For a few weeks, some beta testers had the chance to add up to 512 people to a group WhatsApp (we hope there were more than 512 to test the function precisely), on the Android, iOS and desktop. WABetaInfoonline media specializing in this instant messaging service, reveals that the feature is rolling out to everyone in the latest version of the app. A doubling of the maximum number of members in a group on WhatsApp, which therefore goes from 256 to 512.
Up to 512 people per group chat, hello the flood
This expansion of the maximum number of members in a WhatsApp group was rolled out with the June 6 update (2.22.12.77 on Android). As WABetaInfowe were able to check on the versions iOS et Android that the limit was indeed increased to 512. If you want to check it yourself, you can just try to create a new group chat and when selecting members, the maximum number will be displayed.
No need for a beta version anymore, therefore, a priori everyone can now enjoy it. However WABetaInfo specifies that “this feature has been released to almost all users today and will be available to everyone within 24 hours“. If you don’t have it yet, make sure you have the latest version of the app.
WhatsApp continues its series of improvements, or at least updates and novelties. Meta’s mail service is working on the multi-devicebut also on reactions to photos or on editing messages following sending.
