Now, WhatsApp on Windows allows for video calls with up to eight people.

In order to match its smartphone counterpart’s calling functionality, WhatsApp has released a new desktop app for Windows. The new software enables users to have end-to-end encrypted video chats with up to eight participants, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement. Up to 32 persons can join audio calls, giving it an option for business meetings and family gatherings where all the aunts, uncles, and other distant relatives can participate. In order to support even larger calls in the future, WhatsApp claims that these restrictions will be raised further.

It mentioned some of the new client’s other recent updates in addition to revealing the enhanced calling features. To make adding new devices to user accounts simpler and faster, the messenger upgraded its multi-device functionality. Additionally, WhatApp improved syncing so users could access their chats on as many as four connected devices at once.

True multi-device syncing was introduced by the service in 2021, enabling users to access their accounts even when their phone is offline or out of reach. Following that, WhatsApp must have realized that improved apps on other platforms were required if consumers were to enjoy using the messenger across a variety of devices. In January, WhatsApp made the beta version of its native app for Mac available to all users. WhatsApp originally published a native client for Windows 10 in 2022. The latter performs better on Apple’s desktop OS than the earlier web-wrapped software because it was designed for Mac hardware.
