WhatsApp increases group video call users’ limit; is this enough to shun Zoom?

Last week, we reported Facebook-owned WhatsApp testing video group chat with the option to include more people, from the existing limit fo four. Now, the company has formally announced it will soon be releasing an update to the messenger app.

WhatsApp messenger app users will soon be able to video chat with eight people at any time. The new update will be rolled out soon to all global regions in the coming days.

Will this be enough to shun Zoom video conference app?

To an extent, yes. Considering the predicament caused by COVID-19, this feature will greatly help users to connect with far-away family members and friends.
