WhatsApp group chat limit extended to 256 usersFebruary 5, 2016 - 12:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - It appears Facebook-owned WhatsApp has silently pushed a server-side update to its app on Android that increases the number of users included in a group chat. Until now, a WhatsApp group chat could include up to 100 users. However, the update now pushes the limit to 256 users, NDTV reports. Those Android users who do not see the update yet can download the latest version from the application from the company's website. It is worth mentioning that the new group limit is only visible on Android and iOS for now. However, it should reach Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and other platforms soon. WhatsApp last month got rid of its $1 annual subscription fee. Until now, WhatsApp asked some users to pay an annual fee for using the app after the first year of use - though as many of us experienced, most users were not asked to pay after a year, and instead were given extensions each year. Apart from scrapping the annual fee, WhatsApp also revealed its upcoming plans where it wants people to connect with businesses and organisation directly.
