WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature which will give users a lot of power over their irritating friends. The chat app has unleashed a ‘restricted groups’ function which lets anyone named as an administrator of a group silence other members.
Anyone who invokes this dreaded option will force all members of the group to press a ‘message admin’ button to send messages. If the admin doesn’t approve the message, it won’t be seen by other members of theMeanwhile, the despot in charge can send as many messages as they want. If they switch on the restricted group function, they can also stop other members changing the name of the group. ‘All participants can normally edit the group description, icon and subject, but finally the administrator can restrict this feature today, preventing no-administrators to modify the group description,’ wrote WABetaInfo, a website which specialises in covering Whatsapp updates.
‘This action can be managed in the Admin Settings, a new option located in Group Info that’s visible to the administrator only.’ The restricted groups feature is included in version 2.18.132 for Android and is expected to be rolled out to iOS soon.
