KUCHING: Group chats on WhatsApp are set to expand substantially after an update increasing the limit to 1,024 concurrent participants.
A report from SoyaCincau said the increased group limit was revealed by WABetainfo and is said to be rolling out this week to both Android and iOS devices.
WhatsApp has been actively pushing new features in the past few months. Recently, it has pushed a new Call Links feature which makes it easier to start and join a WhatsApp call by sharing a link.
The instant-messaging platform owned by Meta is also looking at addressing privacy concerns of WhatsApp’s View Once feature by blocking users from taking a screenshot or screen recordings.
Of course, that won’t stop users from taking a picture or recording using another camera or device.
