This will be the new WhatsApp groups

The free messaging application most used by all mobile users, WhatsApp, is preparing big changes for the groups section. Few functions cause so many dilemmas for those who use the application. For one thing, we can't live without them. They are useful for sending certain information to a large number of people. But, on the contrary, sometimes they can become irritating. If you are one of those who have already created dozens of groups, or belong to so many of them, this may interest you.

Group Descriptions

Now, we can add a description to the WhatsApp group that we want. A function, this one, that all those who usually participate in dozens of these will welcome. Do you have a working group? You can designate it as such. Any additional description of the group that you can think of, now, you can include it. In this regard, we see a tweet from @wageeks:

Unlimited member limit

Horror or paradise? Until now, we will 'only' be able to include 256 people in our group. As of the next updates, although still not confirmed one hundred percent, this number becomes... Unlimited Thus, exceeds 10,000 members per group of the Telegram app.Is such a large number of participants in the groups necessary? Will this feature be profitable?

Real-time location

A great feature for family groups. With this new function, all family members will know the location of all of them, and in the case of an emergency, know where to go. A function that will help a lot to protect the elderly and minors. A utility that will be enabled for everyone soon, even in the case of personal chats. At any timeyou can share your location, in real time and instantly, with whoever you choose from your contact list.

Hide phone number

On WhatsApp it is impossible to access a group and keep your phone anonymous.There are groups, sometimes, whose members do not know each other. Or at least all of them. So, in the near future, you will be able to apply a pseudonym or simply hide your phone number from the other members of the group. You can, therefore, rest assured that no one is going to copy your number and then make fraudulent use of it.

Reduce photo and album spam

With so many members in the groups, the possibilities of sending photos and photos and more photos increases exponentially. That is why WhatsApp has gotten down to work and will order all the groups of photos that are sent, at the same time, in a single album. We will see them as it happens on Facebook: some mosaic photos and one of them with the number of photos that remain superimposed. By clicking on it, we will be able to see the entire album, and thus have the group chat space much cleaner and more organized, without endless rows of photographs occupying everything.

These new WhatsApp group features will arrive in the application in a phased manner in the following updates.
