With the new attribute, Messenger users will have the ability to make calls in any group dialogue just by tapping on the telephone icon to start a group call. Group video phoning is unavailable, though the attribute is offered by most competitors, to WeChat and Viber from Skype.

The group calls attribute is now restricted to only 50 individuals but we can anticipate the limit later on to raise. David Marcus Messenger Leader in a Facebook post said that it’ll roll out to users within the next 24 hours and supported the new attribute.

“If you’ve got the most recent version of Messenger, you should see the telephone icon appear in group dialogues within the next 24 hours.

Enterprise Beat reports that the group phoning encounter on Messenger program will not be dissimilar to that of an one on one call. In this instance however, the display will reveal the group’s name and the list of members who are ‘In Call’ also as now ‘Not in Call’. The report includes that Messenger users will have the option to receive, blow off, or reject a group call.

It is worth noting that Facebook’s Messenger program isn’t the first messaging program getting the group calls characteristic as WeChat programs and opponents Line introduced it before. Line supports up to 200 users at the exact same time and received the group calls attribute.

The group calls attribute on Messenger comes within few days of the service getting Video Chat Heads. The attribute was accessible for iOS and Android. This enabled users to continue a video call while using another program or doing something else such as messaging other individuals.
