You are not only limited to voice notes. Now the problem is, users, don’t know how to make a WhatsApp Group Call. This Android Tutorial is about how to make a WhatsApp Group Call.

The WhatsApp update is rolling out all over the world, so make sure you have updated your app before trying to make a WhatsApp group call. A group call in WhatsApp can handle up to 4 participants at once in a group call. Which means you can invite three group members to partake in voice or video group call. Many would criticize the small number of participants being allowed by WhatsApp to enter in a group call. On the other hand, Facebook Messenger allows 50 participants, Skype allows 25, and SnapChat supports 16. But the question is, is it practically possible to handle more than 4 to 6 participants in a group call? I think not.
