ISLAMABAD: WhatsApp groups continue to expand in size and this week, the instant messaging app released a beta for Android and iOS to deliver a key feature: the option to add up to 1024 users to groups. This facility is currently available to specific beta testers.
For a long time, WhatsApp’s group members limit was capped at 256 users. Still, it limits users when people want to create group chats for even larger groups of people.
According to WABetaInfo, the limit was recently raised to 512 people. However, WhatsApp is about to double it once more, allowing you to create group chats with over a thousand members.
Expanding group’s users to above one thousand appears absurd, since WhatsApp recently enhanced users number to 512 people from 256.
However, Telegram allows 200,000 users to join the group chat. Having so many participants in a group chat is beneficial for enterprise or broadcast reasons when you want to deliver information to a large number of people without expecting them to respond.
