The new WhatsApp update means users will no longer be added to group chats without their consent.
The latest feature for Android and iOS devices allow users to decide who, if anyone, can add them to new groups.
It can be enabled through the WhatsApp messaging app’s privacy settings,
‘Everyone’,
‘My Contacts’,
'My Contacts Except…’.
The first option 'Everyone' which is the default group setting, means that every user can add you to a group whether you have them as friends in your contacts list or not.
The second option 'My contact' implies that only users you have their contacts stored in the contacts list of your phone can add you to a group. At least this option is better than the first.
The final option allows users to blacklist certain contacts, who will be forced to send any group chat invites through private chats. Users will then have three days to decide whether or not to accept the invite.
The new WhatsApp update was first rolled out in India last month but is now available to download for all WhatsApp users
