Demand for video call apps has soared unprecedentedly. While there are a lot of options out there, Whatsapp would be the one that’s easily accessible and most used. Up until now, it had support for a maximum of 4 participants only. But, an upcoming update will increase that limit to 8 users.

So yeah, according to WABetaInfo, with the latest beta update (2.20.50.25 on iOS and the 2.20.133 beta on Android), you will be able to add up to 7 people to a group call. That’s both voice and video call.
