finally come! Whatsapp new features exposure: you can refuse to be added to the group!
As long as you are a user who has used Whatsapp, you have had the experience of "adding people from a group to another group". As long as the group's Admin has your phone number, you can directly obtain it without your approval. Just add you to the group.
If these groups are a group of companies or a group of friends who haven't seen them for a long time, Jio drinks tea, but the most fear is that the endless side is added to some malicious Spam, even illegal gambling and online selling groups, those The annoying level of information will really let you uninstall Whatsapp directly! ☺
In response to this incident, a foreign media recently found that Whatsapp developers are already developing new features, allowing you to directly refuse to be added to a group, even if others want to add you into the group, you must first get your consent!
According to
Wabetainfo, Whatsapp will add a new "Groups" setting in future updates, allowing users to decide whether or not to accept being added to a group. There are three options available under this setting:
1>
Everyone: Anyone can add you to a group without your consent (maintaining the status quo)
2>
My Contacts: Only contact people can join you to the group, strangers need to go through your consent first.
3>
Nobody: Anyone needs your consent to join you to the group.
And when someone else can't add you to the group because of your settings, you will receive a new notification within 72 hours asking if you want to join the group, avoiding that you really missed some More important groups. However, in order to prevent malicious Spam, the same group will only send you a join request, which means that as long as you press Decline, you will never receive the same request!
According to
Wabetainfo, the new feature is still in development and will be added to Whatsapp on Android and iOS in the future. For this function, CW editing still feels very useful.
Even after exposure, there is a feeling that "this function should have been there soon?!"~ Have you tried to be added to the strange group? You can share it with us via comment section below.
