It’s official! The new WhatsApp features that had been leaked a few months ago are finally coming to the platform. Of course, we are talking about the new limit for sending files and the number of users that can be added in a group.
Recall that a few weeks ago it had already been announced that the instant messaging service was working to allow users to send files of up to 2 GB. In addition, the medium responsible for the WhatsApp leaks, WaBetaInfo , had already anticipated that groups of 512 people would soon arrive on the platform.
WhatsApp already allows you to create groups of 512 people and send 2 GB files
Through a publication on its official blog , WhatsApp has revealed that the new features that had been announced for the platform are already beginning to reach all users . One of them is the expected reactions to the messages that have been available in the app for a couple of days. The other two are new limits on the number of people that can be in a group and the size of files that can be sent.
Since mid-March, users in Argentina could already send files of up to 2 GB on the platform , as WhatsApp selected that country to test this feature. Now the new limit is already available to all users. For its part, it seems that the groups of 512 people will reach the messaging service without going through a test phase, as the previous function did.
How to have these new WhatsApp features?
As with many of the other features that have come to the platform, these new features are slow to roll out and take time to reach all users . It is important to keep in mind that this messaging platform has more than 2 billion users, therefore, it is expected that the servers will take time to activate this function in all WhatsApp accounts.
In order for you to receive these two new WhatsApp features more quickly, you must make sure that the app is up to date . And… How to do it? Well, you can use the boxes that we leave below, which will take you to the app store of your mobile where you will be able to know if there is a pending WhatsApp update.
