Up to 8 individuals can participate in group video calls with the new WhatsApp client for Windows, which Mark Zuckerberg unveiled.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, on Thursday unveiled a new WhatsApp software for Windows that would enable users to make group video calls with up to 8 people.

Additionally, users of the new application will be able to hold audio conferences on their desktop with up to 32 participants.

"We're releasing a new WhatsApp desktop application for Windows. Now you may have audio calls with up to 32 individuals and E2E encrypted video chats with up to 8 people, Zuckerberg announced on his official Facebook profile.

Additionally, the tech behemoth asserted that WhatsApp now loads more quickly on the updated Windows desktop. Users of Windows and WhatsApp will be accustomed to the app's UI.

In response to user criticism, Meta said, "Since introducing new multi-device capabilities, we've listened to feedback and made improvements including faster device linking and better syncing across devices, as well as new features like link previews and stickers." The business also claimed that it has included new features like link previews and stickers, as well as faster device connection and better device syncing.

Meta said that these restrictions would be raised over time to ensure that users could always use WhatsApp to communicate with their friends, family, and coworkers.

The most popular platform that offers a fully end-to-end encrypted messaging experience that enables cross-platform communication between mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and more is WhatsApp. This indicates that all of your personal calls, media, and messages are always end-to-end encrypted, according to the tech giant.

According to the Zuckerberg-led Meta, the Mac desktop version of WhatsApp, which is currently in beta, will be released.

The tech company also revealed two new improvements for WhatsApp's Groups function earlier this week, adding new admin tools and letting users quickly identify groups they have in common.
