Whatsapp is a cross platform venture that has turned out to the best IM messaging service ever that gave the likes of Yahoo Messenger and Skype a headless run in an ever-evolving generation. As the Facebook owned service is renowned for shipping in new features from several trending IM apps, the app’s 256 group members limit is one of those you can now eliminate in a simple tap
Even though Whatsapp mods rise up with exclusive features per base update with lots of tips & tricks to tweak the main app. This time around all you need to add more than 256 members in a single group is simply an invite link as experimented by BGR.
Adding more than 256 members in a Whatsapp group
Long before Whatsapp rolled out the group calling feature, Its share link option was already available accessible to group admins. Through this share link feature, Whatsapp now allows you to increase the number of group members without any technical tricks needed but by simply sharing the group manually to intended contacts.
For instance in the above screenshot by BGR. The group admin was denied access to add any new members directly but allowed through the Share link option on the IOS powered Whatsapp version. In addition, you won’t need two or more groups with duplicate slogans again but instead, utilize the Invite link wagon for extra members.
Although the 256 members limit may be a temporary lock out through WhatsApp’s add contacts option, the IM developers may be planning to unveil the feature soon leaving the backdoor as a Beta tester. Henceforth, you can choose to invite as many members as your contact book can hold.
