Today is something which is often required by many marketers/large group students or any other large online community.
Since WhatsApp makes communication easy and faster most of
the online communities are thinking to settle on WhatsApp but one limitation of
not being able to add more than 100 members in groups stop them to connect on
WhatsApp. Previously WhatsApp allowed only groups with 50 members, however the
size was increased to 100 after the Facebook-WhatsApp acquisition. However, 100
is also a small number when it comes to large groups which has more than 500
members.
OFFICIALLY ADD 256 MEMBERS TO WHATSAPP GROUP
So what can they do? They can obviously go with the various
WhatsApp Mods available but then like WhatsApp banned the users for using
WhatsApp Plus. The same might be the case. So while trying to enable the call
feature yesterday I found a way to add more than 100 participants/members in a
WhatsApp Group. Yes! More than 100! Are you shocked? Don’t be let’s begin with
the steps to add more than 100 members in WhatsApp group so that you can widen
your Groups in case you are having large number of people.
How to Add More Than 100 Members in WhatsApp
Group [Breaking the Limit]
Before
beginning with the steps let me tell you that you will be able to add more than
100 members in any WhatsApp group you are an Admin of, to cross the limit of
100 members in WhatsApp, there are something which you will require, Oh! No
extra software or hardware device, just simple changes would work. Below are
the things required:
·
Latest WhatsApp Installed (Since I’ve tried it with the latest
version, I would recommend this)
·
Root Powered File Explorer (ES File Explorer)
·
Rooted Android Phone.
If you
are having all of these things ready with you then let’s begin with the steps
so that without wasting a minute you can widen your circles and can add more
members to your existing circles to make them a part of the group.
Step 1: Open File Explorer (Used ES File
Explorer Here)
The
first and the foremost thing you will need to do with the ES File Explorer is,
you need to enable the “Root Explorer” Option in it, To enable the root
explorer in ES File Explorer, Just Open it and swipe from left and enable the
Root Explorer by giving access to the super user. In case you are confused with
enabling root explorer just follow the sequence shown in the Image below.
Step 2: Open the below shown Folder and Edit
the WhatsApp Preferences.
So once
you’ve given proper access to the Root Explorer and have enabled root explorer
then let’s begin with the Editing WhatsApp Preferences File. So navigate to the
following Directory: data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/com.whatsapp_preferences.xml and
edit the com.whatsapp_preferences.xml file. Didn’t get the
proper location? Didn’t find the file? Follow the below image to reach the
correct destination.
Step 3: Edit the WhatsApp_Preferences.xml File
using the Editor.
Once
you reach the above mentioned location, what you have to do is modify the
WhatsApp_Prefrences.xml file, below is the part of the file which you will have
to modify so that you can add more than the existing whatsapp group limit. Look
for
“int name=”participants_size_limit” value=”100″ and
replace the 100 by the maximum number of members/participants you would like to
have in your Group, Here I’ve replaced by 1000 because I want 1000 members in
the WhatsApp Group, You can keep the number depending on your needs. After
changing it, save the file and close it.
Now go
to the App Manager and Force Close WhatsApp. After force closing come back to
WhatsApp and Turn it on and now create a group and add members, you will see
that the member limit which was previously 100 has raised to the number you
entered in the maximum participants in the code.
That’s
all folks, now you can add as many people you want in your WhatsApp Group. At
the end I would like to tell this is a trick which I came across while testing
some stuff. This information is just for information purpose.
