WhatsApp premiere. After a long wait, just yesterday Mark Zuckerberg launched the reactions to messages, but this is not the only promised functionality that has started to be enabled for users: users do too. Up to 2GB posts and groups of 512.

In a blog post, WhatsApp announced sending 2GB for all, on WaBetaInfo we can see that the maximum number of participants in a group has doubled to 512 people. Of course, both changes – along with the reactions – are still in the distribution phase, so they may not appear on your mobile yet.

Large posts and groups

A few weeks ago, WhatsApp officially announced three improvements coming “from that day”: reactions, communities and sending of files up to 2GB in size. Yesterday the company announced the same thing again, reiterating that the news is now yes. was enabled for all usersAt least two or three, depending on how you look at it.

Interestingly, reactions sometimes appear for the same account in the web version but not in the app.

While WhatsApp has confirmed that the rollout is as slow as ever, it’s already actively counting the responses for all users and we’ll probably have to wait a few days or weeks for its usage to normalize. WhatsApp also allows all users can send files up to 2GB alreadyalthough we were still able to confirm in our tests that the distribution has not yet been generalized.

Where WhatsApp gets bull-hit is communities. The communities – and the tabs that will replace the camera tab – are still working on its launch, as explained in the WhatsApp blog post. As an advance, the maximum number of users in a group increases up to 512 peopleAs we can see in this screenshot of WaBetaInfo.

Again this is a server-side distribution and is slow, so if you try to add more than 256 people to a group (old limit) you’re still out of luck. You can easily see the current limit on WhatsApp for iOS, but not on WhatsApp for Android.

Many news about WhatsApp although we continue to be addicted that the server has enabled the functionAnd with over 2 billion users, that can take time. The only thing you can do to “speed up” the process right now is to keep your WhatsApp updated to the latest version.
