Recently, WhatsApp introduced the ability to lock the app behind the user’s fingerprint as an extra security measure. Now, it’s introducing yet another privacy-centric feature that gives WhatsApp users around the world more control over who can and cannot add them to group chats.
People without the ability to add certain WhatsApp users to group chats can still send private invites to those users. The user then has three days to accept or decline the invite.
Once you receive the latest app update, you can enable this WhatsApp group chat privacy feature by heading to the app settings. Then navigate to Account>Privacy>Groups. Here, users can select who has the ability to add them to group chats.
