Whatsapp groups: How to prevent annoying group chats from being added
In the near future, you can prevent being added to group chats unintentionally in WhatsApp. We have all the information about the new feature for you.
WhatsApp groups - so you prevent them from being added
So far, everyone in WhatsApp has been able to invite you to a group chat - without asking if you want it at all. The result is that everyone in this group knows your phone number. You can prevent this in the future.
- To do this, open the settings in WhatsApp on your smartphone and select "Account> Privacy> Groups".
- There you have three options to choose from. Either you still allow "everyone" to add you to a group. Alternatively, you can only give this permission to "your contacts" or you can choose the option "Nobody". If you choose the latter, you will have peace in front of group chats in the future.
- You still have to be a little patient. According to WhatsApp, the rollout has been running since April 3, 2019. At the beginning, however, only a few users were allowed to access the new feature.
- This function is not yet available in WhatsApp version 2.19.159. However, as already mentioned, you should be able to access it in the next few weeks.
