With the 2.23.3.9 update for WhatsApp Android Beta, two new features started to roll out. According to the blog post shared by WABetaInfo today, the character limit for group descriptions and subject will change. So what are the details of the new feature and what is the character limit for WhatsApp group descriptions and topic? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp group description increased to 2048 characters
According to the news shared by WABetaInfo today, WhatsApp is increasing the number of characters for the group description and topic. While the WhatsApp group description increases from 512 characters to 2048 characters, the group topic increases from 25 characters to 100 characters.
Thanks to these features, administrators will be able to add a more informative and detailed text to groups with many people. WhatsApp had increased the group’s participants to 1024 people a while ago. In groups of 1024 people, it was very difficult to define the group rules and to state the details about the group in a short way.
WABetaInfo states that all this is done to offer a more free space to group administrators. To summarize briefly, explanations and topics for groups can now be expressed more freely and in detail.
Although the two new features have started to spread by WhatsApp, they are not currently available to anyone. WABetaInfo states that it takes a while to use the innovations after the feature arrives. In addition, it announced that it will be opened to all Android WhatsApp users within 24 hours.
On the other hand, the instant communication platform is also testing many new features such as aligning text and changing the background color to improve status updates.
