In April WhatsApp rolled out 8 Participants feature in WhatsApp Group Voice & Video Calls. Before that only 4 Participants were allowed in the call. WhatsApp confirmed that the 8 Participants feature group call will be end-to-end encrypted which means it is highly secure. This feature is also optimized for low-end mobiles and areas which have low connectivity.

WhatsApp said that people spend 15 billion average minutes on call which is a high jump due to the pandemic caused by Coronavirus.
