Here’s how to add 512 members in WhatsApp group

- Activate WhatsApp.

- On the top-right of the screen, next to the search button, click the three-dot menu.

- Select the option to create a new group.

- Create a new group with up to 512 members from your phone contact list.

- As the admin, you may even enable vanishing messages for group chats.

- You've just started a new WhatsApp Group with 512 people in it.

With some of its features, WhatsApp has lagged behind competing apps. Telegram already allows you to create groups with up to 2 lakh members. Large-file transfers are also available on the messaging platform, which WhatsApp pioneered with its 2GB file transfer functionality.

WhatsApp has also doubled the amount of people that can join a group video call, allowing up to 32 people to join at once. We have integrated the reactions features into the conversation so that you may send a single emoji, such as a 'heart,'smile,' or 'laughing,' instead of sending them separately to the other person.
