While Whatsapp keeps struggling with total of 256 members in a Whatsapp group, its fiercest rival Telegram has gone far ahead of Whatsapp to even double the 5K allowable members in a Telegram Super group to 10K.

With Telegram 4.1 latest updates, users can now create a supergroup that can take in 10k memebers.

Aside from that, other features were introduced, which now allow creators and admins of a Telegram Supergroup to perform specific functions like handing members of the group different level of ban such as read only ban, temporal banning etc.

With the latest Telegram updated version, you can now display photos and videos together when sharing them from the attach gallery.

With Telegram 4.1, we're increasing the maximum size of supergroups to 10,000 members each. That’s a lot of people packed into one group, and now users and admins can use search to find specific users among them:

Search for members
Search for members
Admins can also search for members in their channels.

With groups as big as 10,000 people – the size of a decent small town – you may be looking for some more powerful management tools. And that’s exactly what Telegram 4.1 gives you.

Admin Rights

You can now add admins with specific sets of privileges to help you run your community. Choose who among your trusted admins will be able to add new users, manage messages, block members, edit group info, or even add new admins...

Telegrams aim is not to make profit. Messaging Apps Shouldn't Make Money
Incase you don't know, WhatsApp already has a lot of catching up to do.

Profit making on the side of ppl using it not telegram. How can this new feature increase my earnings asba business person. I think the focus and target audience for this new feature are social bodies
