WhatsApp group members limit increased

The feature is now available on WhatsApp version 2.22.11.75 for iOS and version 2.22.12.77 for Android. This means that users with this WhatsApp version on their respected platform can now add up to 512 members to a group chat. As mentioned earlier, it was previously limited to 256 members. While this might seem a huge number of members for a group, it is nowhere near to Telegram’s 200,000 members limit in a single group chat.
