WhatsApp: Emoji Reactions and Huge Group Chats rolls out for Everyone
After the developers tested the feature in a beta phase, all WhatsApp users can now respond to individual messages with emojis. In addition, the limits for group chats and files have been increased so that larger conversations can be created. As WhatsApp writes in a blog, emoji responses are now available in the latest version of Messenger.
Replies provide a quick way to reply to a message without having to send a reply. In addition to responding to instant messages, the update should simplify file sharing. While the maximum file size was previously limited to 100 MB, files up to 2 GB in size can now be sent. Small businesses and school groups should benefit from this.
Group chats with 512 people possible
Since WhatsApp previously limited the maximum number of participants for group chats to 256, some users have switched to alternatives such as Telegram. This is probably why the developers decided to increase the limit. It is now possible to include up to 512 people in a group. However, the feature should only be activated gradually so that the feature should be available to most users in the coming days.
Of course, the latest WhatsApp version is required to access the new features. The update should have been installed automatically for many Android and iOS users. Otherwise, as usual, the latest update can also be downloaded manually from the Play Store or the App Store.
