Facebook’s Messenger app has been constantly rolling out new features in an attempt to claim the top spot in the video conferencing category. Recently, Messenger announced a new ‘Rooms’ feature that allows users to create group chats with up to 50 participants with no time limits! This feature has now also arrived on WhatsApp. Here’s everything you need to know about using Messenger Rooms in WhatsApp.

Facebook Messenger added a new feature for group conversations in April (2020). Messenger Rooms was added to the Facebook Messenger app. Rooms seems to be a mix of two great current concepts: video conferencing and Houseparty. The feature allows you to create a virtual room where users can hang out together. Your friends can come and go as they please, as long as the room is not deleted.

You will need a link to enter a Messenger Room. Messenger Rooms has additional security settings, such as allowing users to kick people out of the room and locking a room to prevent others from entering.
