After adding the option for “Call Links” – invite links for joining in-app calls – as a feature late last month, WhatsApp has now raised the maximum number of members allowed in a group chat to 1,024, as reported by leaker site WABetaInfo.

This is not the first time this year that WhatsApp has increased the cap on group chat members. Back in May, the limit was set to 512 members after having been capped to 256 since 2016.
