WhatsApp continues to add new features to its platform to catch up with other messaging services that are far ahead of itself. WhatsApp group chats stand out as one of the ever-growing areas of focus. For a long time, there was a 256-person limit to join a WhatsApp group. While this was good enough for a group of family and friends, it was an important limit for people working in an organization or for a larger group.
This limit was recently increased to 512 people. However, the latest news from WABetaInfo states that this number will double and the number of people you can add to a group will exceed the thousand limit in the coming days.
Unfortunately, the feature is currently limited to beta users and only available to users who choose to join the beta. In fact, this feature is not available for all beta members. It is reported that only a certain group of WhatsApp users can use the extended WhatsApp group chat feature available to both Android and iOS users.
While the ability to add more than a thousand people to a group chat on WhatsApp doesn’t seem very logical, one of its biggest rivals, Telegram, allows you to add up to 200,000 people in the same group. This is definitely something you’d want for businesses or if you’re using a group to broadcast. This feature will allow you to send messages or information to many people at once.
