Limit increased from 4 to 8 participants
In the popular WhatsApp messenger, the number of possible participants in group calls has doubled. At the moment, the extended limit is available only in the beta version of the application.
Despite Skype and Zoom. WhatsApp launched test group calls with a large number of participants
In the beta version of WhatsApp 2.20.133 for Android and 2.20.50.25 for iOS, up to eight people can participate in voice and video calls instead of the previous four. This was noticed by the thematic resource WABetaInfo.
For a group call, for five to eight people, all participants must have a new beta version of the application installed.
Besides, WhatsApp now has a slightly changed call interface. Now you can start a call immediately with all members of the group, without selecting each participant one at a time. To do this, the group must consist of four people or less.
