Five New WhatsApp Features Coming In 2022
WhatsApp Community
This feature will allow you to link common interest groups. Some of the examples highlighted by WhatsApp are Our Building, Local Restaurant, City School Parents and more. Community is a one-stop solution for users, who need a place to accommodate all the features, group users and contacts. WhatsApp says the interface has not been finalised yet, but it is likely to borrow the design from the Groups.
WhatsApp File Sharing Limit Increased to 2GB
It’s happening. Whatsapp is going to increase the file sharing limit from 100MB to 2GB for its users this year. The feature was being tested in the beta version with select users in Argentina, and the platform has confirmed its global release. Currently, WhatsApp only allows users to send up to 100MB of files to their friends.
Whatsapp Audio Calls To Support 32 Members
WhatsApp audio calling will soon let you have 32 members simultaneously. The messaging app lets you have a maximum of 8 members on an audio call right now, but that will change before the end of the year.
