WhatsApp recently also rolled out the capability to add 1024 participants in a group.
WhatsApp groups can be pretty annoying at times, especially when you are not part of the conversation but still constantly get bugged by notifications. Although WhatsApp offers a mute feature that allows users to silence the group notification for a certain amount of time, it is not always possible to mute a group. It appears that WhatsApp also understood this issue and the platform has reportedly rolled out a new feature that automatically mute large group chats to help reduce the amount of notifications. As per a report by WABetaInfo, the Facebook owned platform has rolled out a new beta update that brings the new group feature for Android users. The WhatApp beta update brings the version of the app up to 2.22.24.15.
The new WhatsApp feature was in works for quite some time and references for it have been spotted in previous beta updates. Once the feature is available, an alert revealing that group has been automatically muted to reduce notifications. “This group has over 256 participants and was automatically muted to help reduce notifications” the alert in the group reads.
