“With more people and more control, your group connections can continue to grow,” it said.
WhatsApp introduces three new features:
Number of participants
WhatsApp has increased the number of participants who can be added to a single group.
The app has doubled the number of users from 512 to 1,024. Now, more users can be added to a single group without worrying about space.
Admins in control
Giving the group admins more control, WhatsApp is allowing them to approve new member requests.
“When new members want to join the group and this option is enabled, group admins can review them by opening ‘Pending participants’ within the group info screen or tapping the in-chat banner,” said WaBetaInfo.
Groups in common
WhatsApp has released a new update that allows users to see groups they have in common with the contact they are looking for.
This would be useful in situations where they can recall the name of a group member but not the name of the group.
When users search for contacts in the search bar, the new feature provides them with more information.
