WhatsApp UPDATE: Group Voice Calls now support up to 32 Participants

WhatsApp now allows up to 32 people to join group phone conversations, marking another step forward in the company's plan to expand its WhatsApp Communities function. This is one of a slew of new features said to be coming to the social media messaging platform. The last time WhatsApp raised the group call membership limit was in 2020.

Other features said to be in the works or in beta testing include a new caption view when sending media and the ability to include more recipients within a chat thread, a redesigned location sticker, the ability to save disappearing messages, more emojis for message reactions, and advanced privacy settings. According to the App Store changelog and the FAQ page for Android and iPhone on the WhatsApp site, users will be able to add up to 32 people to audio calls in WhatsApp.
