The update is already available to both iOS and Android app users, bringing the limit from 100 to 256 of people that can take part in one single group chat. Windows and Blackberry users will, however, have to wait.

You will notice the increased limit as soon as you visit the chat section, but nothing else has changed: you can keep on creating chat groups in the exact same way you did before, except that now you can add more contacts to each chat group.

iOS and Android users can now add up to 256 people to a single #WhatsApp group!
