Up to 256 participants are currently allowed in messenger groups, but this limit has been increased to 512 members in some countries. However, the novelty has not yet been released for Brazil and will only be made available after the elections, which will take place in October this year.
This new functionality will basically bring together several groups in the same space. In this way, the user will be able to see which subjects are being discussed in the different groups and choose which one he wants to join.
In addition, some mechanisms are under development to allow administrators to delete messages and files media deemed abusive or inappropriate for group members, which is still not allowed in the current version. This will be an important tool to make these spaces less polluted.
According to information from the Planalto Palace for the CNN network, President Bolsonaro (PL) tried to bring forward the launch of the feature that will allow more participants in groups to before elections.
However, WhatsApp executives signaled that they could even do small-scale tests here, but did not make it clear when this would happen. To some extent this is beneficial as larger groups can further promote the spread of fake news and this can disrupt presidential elections.
But what is known so far that the decision to postpone it did not necessarily have to do with the program to combat the spread of false news. According to the company, the measure was taken with the aim of preserving the reliability of the operation of the new resource.
