WhatsApp is the most used messaging app in the world. Keeping in mind its privacy and the convenience of users, WhatsApp has recently introduced a feature that protects you from being added to any group without your permission.

This new feature of WhatsApp gives you control over who can add you to a group and who cannot.

Earlier, many times it used to happen that someone added you to an unwanted group without your knowledge or permission. This not only caused trouble, but it was also not right in terms of privacy.

Now, under this feature, you can decide who can add you to a group. This feature is especially useful for those users who are cautious about their privacy.

Open your WhatsApp app and go to "Settings". Here you will find the option of "Privacy", click on it. In the privacy settings, choose the option of "Groups". Now you will get three options here. Anyone can add you to a group. Only your saved contacts can add you to a group. You can choose which people to block from adding you to a group.

If someone wants to add you to a group and it is not allowed in your settings, then he can send you an invite instead of adding you to the group.

The invite is valid for 72 hours, and you can accept or reject it.

Protection from unwanted groups. Making privacy stronger. Users get better control. This feature of WhatsApp provides a safe and convenient experience to the users.

If you have not used this feature till now, then activate it immediately and make your experience even better.
