Now, WhatsApp is rolling out an update to its iOS beta version that will allow users to set longer group subjects and descriptions. This new feature will enable users to communicate more information about the group, such as its purpose, rules, topics of discussion and much more. However, the update was earlier rolled out for the Android beta testers through the Google Play Store program.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, the upcoming changes will help users describe the group in a better way. Unlike earlier, the character limit of the WhatsApp groups has been increased from 25 to 100 with an aim to provide more liberty to group admins while they are naming their groups. This will help easily identify the purpose of the group.
The update is being rolled out through the Test Flight beta Program for iOS beta testers. The update carries version 23.3.0.70 which allows users to set longer group subjects and descriptions.
WhatsApp rolling out Calling shortcut feature
WhatsApp is rolling out a calling shortcut feature for group admins to quickly make a call or chat with group participants in private. Additionally, the numbers are also highlighted when a group member joins or leaves the group, allowing admins to personally interact with them. The feature also allows group admins to add group participants to their address book and copy their phone numbers. The feature is indeed efficient as group admins need not have to head to the group info section to fetch contact information. The feature will appear after tapping and holding the phone to use new shortcuts that have the ability for group admins to either call or chat with the group participants.
