whatsapp video callAn exciting novelty that will reach WhatsApp in the coming days. Because of confinement, humanity is doing more video calls than ever, either by WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Hangouts or any alternative application, where we remember that you can record WhatsApp calls to listen to them again. However, the WhatsApp ones were limited to 4 people, but that limit is going to be increased from now on.

This has been revealed by WABetaInfo, which has discovered in the WhatsApp code that the application will allow increasing the number of members of a call or video call. The participation of 4 people it was not enough for many people, and therefore with the new limit, the application will be able to compete with other alternatives.

An even number greater than 4: that will be the new WhatsApp limit

At the moment, it is not known what the new limit for video calls, but it will be an even number that can be 6, 8, 10 or 12. At the moment, it is not known when WhatsApp will launch the function, but in the next betas, the reference to the new limit should begin to appear. Also, it seems that WhatsApp is rushing to launch because it seems that the company will force users to update to allow the limit.

Although the company has taken a long time to release updates in the past, during confinement they have shown that they can and want to release them in a few days since, for example, the Google search function of forwarded messages appeared in the beta version within a few days having been included in the code in previous versions.

It is essential to know that video calls of more than four people can only be made if all the members of the request have installed the most recent version of the app that is compatible with the new function, either in its version for iOS or Android. Also, these data consumed by WhatsApp may call increase.

Incalls, WhatsApp will also enter a text that indicates that the call is encrypted from end to end to remind us that they are secure. This is probably a nod to Zoom, which is riddled with vulnerabilities, and companies like Google or Tesla have recommended not to use it to deal with sensitive issues. The CNI in Spain has also done the same.

WhatsApp Web will have a dark mode.

The dark mode It has been available for months on iOS and Android, but in WhatsApp Web has been resisting. However, in version 2.2013.7 they have begun to implement a Theme section function in Settings> Chats, which will be a new menu in which we can choose between the light theme or the dark theme, in addition to changing the wallpaper, which is now under the Wallpaper section.

Unfortunately, it is not known when it will be available, but its development is already quite advanced, and they have fixed errors that were in the past, such as the emoji section kept coming up with the topic clear.
