WhatsApp now allows you to add up to 512 people to a group.

This was revealed by the Meta-owned messaging platform while announcing the release of the much-anticipated message reactions function.

The ability to add new members to a group has begun to be gradually rolled out to users.

The most recent modification would double the present maximum of 256 members per WhatsApp group.

The feature has begun to be gradually rolled out to users, and we anticipate that it will soon be available to all Android and iOS users.

This will be a pleasant adjustment for many, particularly in firms with a high number of employees. Nonetheless, it is less than the massive 20,000 member limit provided on Telegram, another popular messaging network.

Aside from that, WhatsApp has begun to roll out the ability to communicate files up to 2GB in size that are end-to-end encrypted. This is a huge increase above the previous file size restriction of 100MB.

The messaging platform encourages using Wi-Fi for large file uploads, and there will now be an indication showing the progress of the download. This functionality was originally made available in a recent WhatsApp beta.

Message reactions, as you may know, have also begun to reach users, and the most recent versions of the program now support them. To respond to a message, users can just long-press it and select one of the six emoji alternatives.

WhatsApp has stated that it will soon add more emoji alternatives to the list, similar to how Instagram does.

To recall, the messaging giant also officially released Communities for group managers to manage their groups in one spot, but it is unclear whether it will be available to everyone.
