WhatsApp Update: Now THESE users can add up to 1024 participants to groups - Check details

WhatsApp update: The meta-owned popular messaging application WhatsApp is reportedly planning to release another important feature this week on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS. WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to add up to 1,024 participants to groups. This feature is rolling out to some lucky beta testers on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS this week.

"WhatsApp is working on a list of pending group participants, WhatsApp has decided to increase the group limit again by supporting groups up to 1024 people this week," WABetainfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, wrote in its report. 

According to the report, the feature is available on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS but it is limited to a certain undefined number of beta testers. If you want to check if the feature is available for your WhatsApp account, just try to create a group or to add new participants to an existing one: in this section, you can see what’s the limit configured for your account. 

"If you stil see “512”, don’t worry: since it is a small test as happened in Argentina with the feature that lets share media files up to 2GB in size, it might take a while before reaching all other WhatsApp account, so nothing is wrong with your account," WABetainfo reported. 

The report mentioned that it is a very important step forward since sub-groups of communities support the same new limit and WhatsApp is also developing new tools to give admins more control over these larger groups in the future, such as a list of pending participants and an approval system.
