How to Stop People from Adding You to WhatsApp Groups

Posted by: Smart || Categories: Guides

I understand what it’s like to get added to an unfamiliar WhatsApp group without giving your permission. It irritates me greatly. That is the primary motivation of this post.

With the recently released Group privacy feature on WhatsApp, you can control who can add you to groups. Recall that Telegram has had this capability for a long time.

You may now choose who can add you to groups on WhatsApp. There are three alternatives from which to select. You can choose Everyone, Contacts only or My Contacts except…

In the event that you have prohibited users from adding you to groups, users can still manually email you invitation links to join them.

WAYS TO GET AWAY WITH USERS ADDING YOU TO WHATSAPP GROUPS

Open the WhatsApp app.

To control or prohibit users from automatically adding you to groups without your consent, navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups.

Now, all iOS and Android users can take advantage of this feature.

If you haven’t updated your WhatsApp app yet, you can do so now.
