WhatsApp increased the number of people who can be on a video or voice call at once to eight, double its previous limit of four, the company said in an update note on the iPhone App Store.
WhatsApp’s site notes that its video calls are end-to-end encrypted.
WhatsApp’s new limit compares to the 12-person limit that was recently introduced for Google Duo. Meanwhile, Apple’s FaceTime supports 32, Houseparty supports eight, Skype and Facebook’s new Messenger Rooms service support 50, and Zoom’s free tier supports 100, The Verge reported.
The Android version of the app does not yet appear to be updated in the Google Play store.
