WhatsApp has officially rolled out support for more people on group calls. WhatsApp users can now make group video and voice calls with up to eight people. This is currently available only for iPhone users as of now.
WhatsApp’s latest update on iOS comes with this feature along with visual improvements for iOS 13. iPhone users can download the latest WhatsApp version from the App Store to get the new features. However, the new group calling limit will work only if the other participants also have the feature.

Once WhatsApp is updated, you can start making larger group calls. To do this you will have to open a group chat where there are more than four people including them. Then, tap on the call icon on top just next to the group chat’s name. You’ll find the list of group members whom you can select for the group call. Once you’re done, you can either select video or voice call. You can choose up to seven people for the group-call as the eighth member will be you.
Messenger Rooms is the much better option if you need to invite more than eight people to join your video conference. Rooms support up to 50 users, with no time limit. All you have to do is share the Room with them.

Facebook said that Rooms support will be available in other products, including WhatsApp, without revealing any rollout plans. But WaBetaInfo, the blog that announces new WhatsApp features before they’re official, found Rooms traces in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.20.139.
That means WhatsApp users will be able to create a Room right inside that chat/group share sheet.
The Room will be created in Messenger, WhatsApp will apparently tell you, which is an important detail. Unlike WhatsApp video chats that are end-to-end encrypted, Rooms video calls won’t have the same level of encryption. Even WhatsApp chats that include up to eight people will be encrypted, according to the imagery Facebook used to demo the feature (see top image).
