Title: WhatsApp has another new feature
description: WhatsApp group video calling is hugely popular during the coronavirus pandemic worldwide. It's worth noting that for quite some time now, the instant messaging platform has focused on releasing several updates related to video calling to provide a better user experience. We remind you that WhatsApp has implemented support for up to eight participants in a group call.
What else is known about this topic? It turned out that all ongoing group voice and video calls will be available in the chat window, allowing users to join the conversations at any time.
We also learned that thanks to the latest update that introduced this feature, group call notifications will show the name of the group, not the names of the participants. The latest update will allow users to join group video calls directly with the "Join" button next to the group name at the top. A small icon will appear on the group image in the chat window to indicate that a group video call is in progress.
WhatsApp has added a ton of new security features recently to allow users to attract new users and provide users with sufficient privacy. With the introduction of end-to-end encryption of chat backups, which are stored in Google Drive and iCloud, the instant messaging app has increased its security for users. As a reminder, the messaging app which introduces the disappearing messages feature has been revised and will give users more time to choose, starting from 24 hours, seven days or 90 days from the date the messages disappear at users' request.
