WhatsApp rolling out longer group subjects, descriptions on iOS beta: All you need to know

WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out longer group subjects and descriptions on iOS beta. This will make it easier for users to better describe groups, reports WABetaInfo. Beta users can now choose a longer group description, up to 2048 characters, as the previous limit was 512 characters. Longer group descriptions will help group admins to save additional information for describing their groups.

Moreover, the characters of the group subject have been increased to 100 to provide admins more freedom when naming their groups. The ability to choose a longer group subject and description is available for all users after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS update from the TestFlight app, the report said.

WhatsApp, in its latest update to iOS, has rolled out the ability to create personalised avatars and use them as stickers and profile pictures. Some users may already be able to configure an avatar on the previous update, but it is rolling out to even more people, according to WABetaInfo.

Users will need to open WhatsApp Settings in order to discover if the feature is already enabled for their account. Moreover, in the latest update, the messaging platform introduced the ability to record videos hands-free by swiping left inside the WhatsApp camera.

Last week, a report mentioned that the messaging platform was rolling out similar changes to the group subjects and descriptions on Android beta. Meanwhile, it was reported that the platform was working on a new feature which will allow users to pin messages within chats and groups.

Last month, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on a new feature that will allow users to send photos in their original quality.

The platform is planning to integrate a new setting icon within the drawing tool header which will allow users to configure the quality of any photo, providing them more control over the quality of photos they are sending, especially when sending the photo in its original quality is necessary.
