Inclusion in a WhatsApp group without permission
Possibly we are facing the news of the year of WhatsApp. If you are one of those users who hate being included in groups without your consent, soon you will be able to configure the app to avoid it.
And it is that the latest news about WhatsApp groups reveal a lack of privacy on the subject of groups. Anyone can add you to one of these conversations and expose your phone number without your permission.
An example of this is given by a Chinese restaurant in Murcia that a few days ago created a group of WhatsApp to inform its customers that they changed their phone number.Almost 1000 people saw their mobile number exposed to that many people. It is clear that this type of news is not to taste. That is why the developers of the application seem to be going to remedy it.
Shortly we will be able to accept or not accept invitations to WhatsApp groups:
The news portal about the most used messaging app on the planet, Wabetainfo, broke the news. In future versions a new option will be added in the WhatsApp privacy settings.
3 options for who can add you to groups
As you can see in the image above, we will have three options to manage invitations to groups of WhatsApp.
- Everyone (Everyone)
- Only our contacts (My Contacts)
- My Contacts Except
From these three options we will have the possibility of stopping the inclusion of groups without our consent. We will receive a request to join a group, as long as we have configured one of the last 2 proposed options. If we have selected "Everyone", everything will continue as before. We will allow you to add us to groups freely.
When we receive a request for inclusion in a group, two buttons will appear to accept or decline the invitation. In this way, we who will decide which groups to join and which not. Those requests will last for 72 hours and you will not be able to receive two invites from the same group at the same time.
What do you think? Do you like this news that will arrive shortly at WhatsApp?.
ACTUALIZACIÓN (7-11-2019) : We already have it available and it works like this
