The widely used social networking platform WhatsApp has introduced new privacy features for group chats. WhatsApp groups are reportedly made to connect the world together. Be it any profession, it marks as an important platform for socialising. According to the reports listed by WhatsApp, people turn to groups for important conversations and hence users have demanded more control and privacy over their experience. To which, WhatsApp has introduced a new privacy setting to help you decide who can add you to groups.
All about WhatsApp's new features
WhatsApp has replaced ‘Nobody’ with ‘My Contacts expect’ for groups. Go to WhatsApp’s Privacy settings for group messaging. Then tap Account > Privacy > Groups and select one of three options: “Everyone,” “My Contacts,” or “My Contacts Except.” “My Contacts” means only users you have in your address book can add you to groups and “My Contacts Except” provides additional control for who among your contacts can add you to a group. By opting for ‘Nobody’, it would initiate a group invitation that would expire within three days.
