The reason why this site is most loved by all is because of its non-complexity. In order to start a group call, people involved in a group conversation just need to tap the phone icon on their respective screen.

Also it is easy for them to manage the participants on the next screen. In case any member miss the call initially, they can join the call while it’s on by tapping on the phone icon. The said feature is only available in the latest version of Facebook messenger and can allow only upto 50 people on group call.

It is being talked that this new step by Facebook will cause major concern to telecommunications companies. People just need a way to connect with people and there are some who find social media as an asynchronous form communication but as far as Facebook is concerned, then it has a huge subscribers base and the figure goes somewhere around 1.3 billion standing as the largest telecom on the planet.

This was when there was no such real time communication feature available but now when the real time communication feature is all set to be available as announced, it will be a powerhouse altogether.

There are other apps also that offers this feature of group calling and that too upto 200 people, say for instance Viber, Line, etc, yet they are not as successful. If you think of comparing them with Facebook in the light of this group calling feature, you would find them nowhere.

There’s a solid reason behind it, one such reason being Facebook is unique. It is very much different from other social networking sites. The huge following makes it even stand out from the pool of other apps.

Viber or line or any other such app does not have huge following and is not as famous and rich in potentiality, power as Facebook. No matter if 200 participants are allowed on a group call or 50 participants, Facebook is a huge threat to the players existing in this field of communication. Facebook does not have to struggle hard to expand its service scope. Mere launching of a switch would do all for it.
