More than one year ago, WhatsApp has released a useful shortcut to create Messenger Rooms, allowing up to 50 participants to join a group video call on Facebook.
Today there is news: WhatsApp is (finally) removing this option, deleting it from the chat share sheet and the calls section on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS:
Why has WhatsApp removed this shortcut? WhatsApp verifies which features are used by their users. If the feature didn’t achieve success, it means it’s the moment to modify it.
