How To Add 5000 Members In Whatsapp Group

✎ Key Takes:

» You can notice an increased WhatsApp group limit from 3000 to 5000 members by using group invite links.
» However, if you experience any limitations, explore alternatives to extend the WhatsApp group member limit and accommodate a larger audience.

WhatsApp Group Limit:

On the WhatsApp business accounts, you can add up to 1024 people in a group. The business WhatsApp is built with marketing tools that help you communicate with your partners and teams better and easily. 

You can add 1024 people to create a chat group for having business discussions.

After 1024 members in one group, you’ll need to create a second group to add more members. 

On business WhatsApp, you can create custom quick replies which you can use as a shortcut for replying to messages or questions that are frequently asked by your customers. 

Business WhatsApp is built with automated tools that help you manage customer relationships as well as save time and energy. You can create labels on business WhatsApp accounts too. 

How To Add 5000 Members In Whatsapp Group:

There are some methods that you can try to increase group members:

1. 5000 Members Using Link

Around more than 1024 people in a WhatsApp group, a myth. You can get more people added to a WhatsApp group by sharing the invite link.

That implies you can’t include more than 1024 by yourself but that is not the exact group limit. So, if you want to increase your limit from 1024 up to 3000, at that point this strategy will be useful for you.  

⭐️ Sharing Group Invite Link:

To do this just follow the simple steps:

Stage 1: Just open your WhatsApp group and tap on the three dots icon.

Stage 2: Next, from that point tap on ‘Group info’ and an option will be there ‘Invite to group via link’.

Stage 3: Just, share the link with your friends and in other groups. Now, when anybody taps on that link, he/she can join the group even if the limit is crossed over 1024, thus increasing the limit of up to 3000 people in a single WhatsApp group.

2. Using App On Android

For adding more than 10,000 people to a WhatsApp group, ES-Explorer is the best app you should try.

🔴 Steps To Follow:

Now, once you install the ES-Explorer file manager from the Play Store, just follow the simple methods below:

Step 1: First of all, tap on the ‘three-lines’ icon and select the ‘Device’ option from there.

Step 6: Now, open the file in HTML format; find the line participants_size_limit, and change the value to 9999. Your limit for adding people to a single WhatsApp group is now increased. However, you can put any value there to increase the limit to unlimited.

FLAW: Sometimes it only shows the number but cannot add more than 1024 people, the method seems to be fake.

Why is this Limited to 1024 Users in a WhatsApp Group?

The actual reason is unknown but this is WhatsApp’s decision & the company may increase the limit in the near updates.

The reasons are described in detail below:

Limiting the chats: Limiting the people undoubtedly will limit their usage per WhatsApp group automatically and prevent spam. Suppose, if there is an unlimited amount of people are added to a WhatsApp group, users might face issues seeing all chats when everyone is posting. It’s hard to scroll upward to see all the discussions and thus will lose interest in that particular group.

Prioritizes Group Members: If the members are limited to a serious WhatsApp group then related people with the group activity will be the first choice for the admins, thus making the group valuable in all ways.

Internal Issue: There might be WhatsApp’s internal issue that restricts the admins to add more than the allowed limit in a WhatsApp group. WhatsApp is improving its system and increasing the limit and we can expect to get a hike in the group member limit.
