WhatsApp Features: Know Details
In the past couple of months, WhatsApp announced that it has rolled out new updates such as making groups larger and giving admins the power to delete messages sent in the groups they manage.
Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that admins can now see all pending requests to join their group at a particular place. Seeing the pending requests in a single place will help admins to decide who to accept in the group.
When a group admin decides to make their group joinable in a community or share their group’s invite link, they can control who can join.
Admins have complete power over who to let in because groups are places where people have confidential conversations.
Apart from this update, another WhatsApp feature that is being rolled out is that people will be able to search a contact's name to see which groups they share in common.
The latest details available as of now suggest that the new features will start rolling out to users all over the world in the upcoming weeks. WhatsApp users should stay alert and keep updating their apps to enjoy the benefits. The online messaging platform keeps introducing new updates often.
