Facebook officially increases WhatsApp group calls participant limit to 8

Facebook on Saturday announced that it is increasing the limit for participants in a WhatsApp Group call to eight.

The current limit for the number of participants on a group call for Facebook’s messaging platform WhatsApp is 4. The social media giant announced that it will be increasing the limit to 8 for everyone.

“We’re expanding @WhatsApp group video and voice calls to allow up to 8 people,” Facebook had tweeted.

WABetaInfo last week had spotted the increased limit in WhatsApp’s beta version. The feature was first spotted in WhatsApp v2.20.50.23 beta for iOS. WABetaInfo had discovered strings suggesting the updated call limit in WhatsApp v2.20.128 beta. It also noticed the feature in WhatsApp v2.20.129 beta for Android.
