WhatsApp, the most popular messenger app owned by Meta, introduced the Reactions feature in May 2022 and also announced to double the number of group chat members.

This feature is now available to all users in the WhatsApp.

WhatsApp users can now add 512 people to a group instead of 256.

This feature is available in Android, iOS and desktop versions to all users whose WhatsApp is up to date.

If you want to see if this feature is available, open the app and click on the 3 dot menu.

In this menu click on the create group option and choose the names of one or 2 of your contacts.

Doing so will indicate below the heading of the new group above how many of the 512 members you have selected.
