    Illegal how?

    Not much difference between a group email and WhatsApp chat?

    Say what?
    GDPR is being thrown around as an excuse for everything. Numbers of what? Messages? Group members?

    You signed up to Whatsapp terms so by doing so accept how there product works. Just because you dont think members should be seen by others does not mean they are sharing your info or it is a violation of GDPR rules.
    If you are a member of a Whatsapp group, you most likely know some or all of the other members. People don't get signed into groups without knowing what its for.

    Have a read of this https://www.whatsapp.com/legal?eea=1

    Broadcast option can be used and the other numbers cant be seen. Also only people with your number stored in their phone will receive the message.
