Facebook messenger calls - 50 friends in one call

Facebook announced their new feature in messenger chats allowing users to call another user or users. Maximum 50 users can be in one group call. Users in a group chat can tap the phone icon to initiate a call, and the rest can join the same call conversation by taping the phone icon.

Viber and Line already provide this service allowing 200 people to join group call, but the difference is compared to Facebook Viber and Line has very less amount of people. With Facebook’s advanced social network features and capabilities, it will be a very tough competition for other companies like Viber and Line to survive.

Telecommunication companies will be affected as well. If Facebook start to act as a Telecommunication company providing wider telecommunication services, they will be the biggest telecommunication company in the world with more than 1.2 Billion Subscribers. And you’ll be able to see the person’s profile before you call.


Replacing traditional phone calls with VoIP calls is the new trend. If this continues, traditional calls will be replaced fully and VoIP will become a fully featured and reliable way to call. Most difficult part of VoIP is having a clear conversation, as the data speed and bandwidth effects the quality of the call.

Sooner or later hopefully Facebook will start to provide video call technology to the market challenging the other companies like Skype who provides the technology already.

Faster grow the technology of mobile world, everyday new devices come in to the market with new technology. Main concern about the battery life should be taken as important as well.
