Group calls on WhatsApp with up to 31 participants on iOS: WhatsApp, a popular messaging app owned by Meta, is now allowing group calls with up to 31 participants. This feature is rolling out widely for WhatsApp users on iOS devices, making it easier to connect with more friends or colleagues. In a recent update (version 23.21.72) available on the App Store, WhatsApp introduced this enhanced calling feature.
Before this update, group calls on WhatsApp already supported up to 32 participants, but you could only add 15 contacts when starting a group call. With the latest changes, you can now initiate group calls with the full capacity of 32 participants right from the start.
