WhatsApp introduced its feature that allows users to set up groups on the platform anonymously. A very useful feature for users who want to set up a group quickly without having to find a group name.
The new feature comes with a restriction. Currently, WhatsApp groups with 1024 people can be created, but anonymous groups will be limited to 6 participants. These groups will be dynamically named based on the users added to the group.
The group name will look different for each participant, depending on how they saved the contacts to their phones. If you join an anonymous group of people who haven’t added each other’s numbers, your phone number will appear in the group name. This means that the feature is more geared towards friends and family members who know each other. The group name can be renamed later, or those who do not want to specify a name can continue anonymously.
