WhatsApp rolling out longer group subjects
Recently, it was reported that the Meta-owned WhatsApp has started rolling out longer group subjects and descriptions on iOS beta. The report adds that the feature will make it easier for users to describe the groups in a better way.
The report reveals that the users can now choose a longer group description. Earlier users were allowed to add group descriptions of up to 512 characters. But now users can add group descriptions of up to 2048 characters. The longer group descriptions will enable users to add additional information at the time of describing the groups.
Along with the increase in the character limit of group description, the app has also increased the character limit of group subject to 100. This will enable admins to give a better and more descriptive name to their groups.
