WhatsApp update: Group chats set to become more secure, here’s why

WhatsApp is finally receiving the much-awaited feature that allows users to choose if they want to be a part of a group or deny the invite. WhatsApp has been plagued with unwarranted group chats that have become one annoyance for the users who are added to them without their consent. The Facebook-owned app is now looking to putting an end to this malpractice by testing the new feature on WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.19.55.

As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp beta for Android has been spotted with the group invitation feature that will ask the invited user for his/her permission before being a member. The feature is not available to the Android beta users as of now because it is disabled, says WABetaInfo. The iOS TimeFlight users already have access to this feature but it seems it may take some time before Android beta users get the feature.
