WhatsApp has introduced a new privacy setting for groups. With the new update, WhatsApp users have more control over choosing who can add them to groups.

To explain how this works lets first trace back to WhatsApp’s privacy settings for groups. At present, users can choose who can add them to WhatsApp groups between ‘Everyone’, My Contacts’ and ‘Nobody’.

WhatsApp is now replacing ‘Nobody’ with ‘My Contacts expect’ which means users have to manually choose which contacts cannot add them to groups. Admins who have been barred from adding people to WhatsApp groups will still get to send an invitation with the same three-day expiry time. WhatsApp group privacy features can be updated through Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups.
