- You need to update your WhatsApp version to the most recent Android and iOS beta updates, in order to be able to create a call with more than 4 participants.
- If you have already updated but you don’t see the feature, you can consider to back up your chat history and reinstall WhatsApp, if you don’t want to wait more.
Every time you reinstall WhatsApp, the most updated configurations from the server are downloaded, enabling the feature for you.
From the first days of April, WhatsApp was testing a new feature that allows to add more than 4 participants in a call. Their test included to adjust the UI to allow to see more participants.
Today WhatsApp is finally ready to roll out the possibility to add 8 participants in a group voice or video call, for everyone having the latest iOS and Android beta update installed.
If you want to do a group voice or video call, you have two ways:
- Open a group and tap the Call button: if the group has a number of participants higher than the old limit (4) in a call, WhatsApp will ask which contacts you wish to call to, otherwise the call will be directly started.
- Group participants that aren’t saved in your address book won’t be added in the call.
Open the Calls tab, tap the Call button, then select New group call: here you can select which contacts to call.
Thanks to the new limit, you can keep in touch with your family and friends better.
This is one of the best decision taken by WhatsApp: we can stay safe at home, but we can meet virtually more people we love using WhatsApp. WhatsApp was able to push a new feature very quickly to meet the needs of the user.
WhatsApp calls are end-to-end encrypted, so WhatsApp, Facebook and third parties can’t listen to them. Enjoy with the new limit!
