WhatsApp Group Admins could soon add up to 512 members.
In future versions of WhatsApp, you could leave groups without notifying all members except admins. Others can view past participants though.
The increase in WhatsApp group size and the new options to exit quietly as well as view past WhatsApp group members are reportedly in development.
It looks like you will now be able to leave WhatsApp Groups without causing too much of a fuss. You will notify only the group admins when you do so. Meanwhile, if you are a prevailing member, you will have the option to view past participants of the group. All these while WhatsApp is reportedly increasing the group capacity to 512 members from the previous limit of 256 members. WABetaInfo, who spotted these features tells us the Meta-owned platform is still developing them and it could take some time before they are available to the app’s beta users.
WhatsApp Group Changes
As you can see in the image above, when you choose to leave a group, only you and the group admins will know that you have left the group.
So, only the admins will receive the in-chat notification message that a particular individual has exited the group.
Regular group members can still find out if you have left only if they check out the new View Past Participants option below the current group member names in the group settings section.
Both these features are still under development. One other group feature in the works is the increase in the total number of WhatsApp group members to 512. So, if you like being part of bigger communities, that particular feature will be useful for you.
