“Starting today, we are pleased to officially announce that we have doubled the number of participants who can make voice and video calls on WhatsApp from previously only four people to eight people in one call,” he said.

To access more participants, limit updates on this WhatsApp call, all participants in the call need to update their WhatsApp application to the latest version available on iPhone and Android today.
