Meta-owned instant messaging platform, WhatsApp, recently announced it has doubled its group limit capacity.

Expanding from 256 to 512 participants, this new move is tailoring its group capacity to Telegram which accommodates close to 100,000 participants.

According to the messaging platform, this new feature is being rolled out steadily, thus all users might not have it yet.

WhatsApp has also gone ahead to improve its file-sharing capacity size. Users can now share up to 2GB files of their choice. Compared to the previous 100MB, this new sharing capacity is impressive.

The messaging platform claims that shared files are protected by end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp suggested that massive files could be shared using Wi-Fi with a counter, displaying the amount of time for the uploads and downloads.

WhatsApp says the files are protected by end-to-end encryption and suggests you use Wi-Fi for sharing particularly large files, though uploads and downloads of such files will show a counter that will tell you how much longer you’ll have to wait.

Following the announcement of adding emoji reactions to WhatsApp messages, the company has introduced the feature in its latest version while reiterating that it will continue to explore broader options on how to improve the app

The Meta-owned company says it will continue to improve on this feature by adding a broader range of reactions in the future.
