Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a slew of new features for WhatsApp groups.
The updates will give admins more control over who can join a group and make it easy for them to allow people to join a group.
The new updates were announced by Mark Zuckerberg on his Instagram Broadcast Channel.
Groups continue to be an essential part of WhatsApp and the instant messaging app has been trying to bring several changes of late.
These changes follow some updates made over the last few months, including making groups larger and giving admins the ability to delete messages sent in the groups they manage.
As more people join communities, WhatsApp is giving group admins more control over their group privacy. The company has built a simple tool that gives admins the ability to decide who is able to join a group.
When an admin chooses to share their group’s invite link or make their group joinable in a community, they now have more control over who can join.
With the growth of communities and their larger groups, WhatsApp is making it easy to know which groups you have in common with someone.
According to the company, these features will start rolling out globally over the coming weeks.
