Isn’t it annoying to wake up and find yourself a part of these random WhatsApp groups? I believe it is very annoying !
Good news ! WhatsApp now wants to fix that.
According to Whatsapp news website,WABetaInfo, WhatsApp for iOS is being tested with this feature, and it will be available for both WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business with the future update.
Having said that, the report also mentions that this feature might take a while to be officially rolled out to all users. Apparently, the features still require many improvements and that may lead to a delay in the roll out.
Once the feature is enabled, the ‘Group’ option will allow one to let either everyone, My Contacts or no one to add them to groups. Once one activates the setting, group admins can only send a request to join a group which then one can choose to accept or decline.
However, those requests have an expiry period where they will expire after 72 hours after the time of request. The introduction of the feature is expected to be welcomed by WhatsApp users around the world who on many occasions have found themselves added to groups without their consent.
