Whatsapp, the world's largest chat platform, has recently increased the group video call limit for up to 8 persons. Previously, up to 4 persons can connect through a WhatsApp call, but after the recent update, Whatsapp has doubled the group video call limit amid this pandemic situation.
All the participants need to install the latest version of the WhatsApp in their iPhones or Android devices to access the higher participant limit on Whatsapp. Users can make the call by clicking the call icon from the group chat or they can add participants after making a one on one voice or video call.
Whatsapp in their official tweet and blog post announced this latest update. Whatsapp also mentioned that all the calls made through WhatsApp are end to end encrypted and are highly secured.
The same privacy you expect from a face-to-face conversation (remember them?) now with up to 8 people. End-to-end encrypted. Update your WhatsApp to try it out. pic.twitter.com/xZUX60mysD
