Soon the Facebook owned chatting app will be rolling out a group video calling feature on its platform which will allow more than four users who can join a video chat. A report has emerged on the web to prove that the developers seem to be working on the much-needed feature when everyone is practising social distancing to contain the spread of the COVID-19. 

According to a recent report by WABetainfo currently, the group calling feature is under development which has been identified in the WhatsApp v2.20.128 beta and WhatsApp v2.20.129 for the Android platform. The report says the new Group Call Limit is under development in order to make it bugs free. The company is planning to extend the limit of participants in a group call in the next updates.

At the moment, some users are experiencing issues to make group calls using this update in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.20.128. It is noticed that this might happen because people have not updated to the latest version of the app.

According to the report, “participants must use the latest WhatsApp version to be able to participate in a group call having the new limit. Actually, nobody knows what will be the new limit, but surely more than 5 participants in a group call. There is any release date available, but if WhatsApp wants to force people to update in order to call more than 4 people (including you), it means the feature might be rolled out soon.”
