WhatsApp Update: Admins can now manage member additions
India TV NewsWhatsApp, the widely used instant messaging platform owned by Meta, is introducing a feature aimed at enhancing the control of community administrators. According to reports from WABetaInfo, a new community setting is now accessible, allowing community admins to determine who has the privilege to add members to the community. However, there might be situations where community admins want to extend this privilege to a broader audience, allowing anyone to add members directly. WABetaInfo explained, "It is an additional layer of control, allowing community admins to choose who can add members directly. In essence, this new option empowers community admins to regulate who can manually add new members to their communities, even without the need for a community invite link.
