In many countries, calling has doubled since the Covid-19 outbreak began, wrote Zuckerberg.
“More than 700 million daily actives use WhatsApp and Messenger for calling. In a post on Facebook, the social giant’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the upcoming change to WhatsApp group calls. The change was first spotted in the recent beta version of WhatsApp Messenger on both Android and iPhone, and now Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp, has officially announced the change and revealed the timeline of when the increased group call participants limit can be expected. With this, WhatsApp group calls will now support up to 8 people, up from four right now. WhatsApp Messenger is confirmed to be doubling the number of participants allowed in the group calls. That should make the chat app, which is currently the most popular messaging service worldwide with more than two billion unique users, a more viable alternative to the likes of Zoom, Houseparty, FaceTime and Skype for conference calls, or catch-ups with friends and family. WhatsApp has announced a huge boost for its built-in video calling feature. Just as before, these video calls will be end-to-end encrypted. WHATSAPP has expanded the maximum number of people who can take part in a video call at the same time – doubling the previous limit of four simultaneous callers.
