Back in April, WhatsApp announced new privacy settings for group conversations, including a new tool giving users more control over who can and who can't immediately add them to new group chats.
We’ve all been there. Someone adds you to a group chat about some random social occasion full of people you don't really know and it's too awkward to immediately leave.
So you’re left to either deal with endless notifications, or muting the chat entirely and letting it silently fester in your app.
Thankfully, the new settings introduced in WhatsApp hope to make this a thing of the past. WhatsApp has made this setting available in India, but now it's coming to Android and iOS users worldwide.

The ever-reliable WABetaInfo has claimed the upgraded group chat controls are available in the latest WhatsApp beta, version 2.19.298, suggesting it’s not long before all users are treated to the functionality.
Essentially, the update will allow users to choose between three options, each altering who can and can’t immediately add you to a group chat.
The three options were listed to below:
• Everyone
• My contacts
• My contacts except…

As suggested by its name, the third toggle allows users to choose certain contacts they don’t want immediately chucking them into group chats.
WABetaInfo showed the new privacy settings available on both Android and iOS, suggesting it will debut on both in the near future.
If a contact that doesn’t have the all-encompassing power to add you to different chats tries to get you in a group, they will be prompted to send an invitation.
This can then be accepted or denied by the user within a period of three days. After such time the invite will expire.
Although the new WhatsApp feature will surely be welcomed by fans with open arms, we still don’t know when it’s arriving for everyone in full.
But if you follow us on Facebook and other social media handle you will get notify the moment it arrives and we confirm it working find.
