How to Choose Who Can Add You to Groups on WhatsApp
It was earlier reported that Group Privacy setting that makes you choose who can invite you to a group or not was in works, now it is rolling out to all beta testers.
The new Group Privacy settings option allows you to blacklist certain contacts from inviting you to groups while still allowing group invites from trusted sources.
The Group Privacy Blacklist function replaces a previous option which prevented all users from automatically inviting you to groups with a new setting named “My contacts except…”.
In cases where group invites are blocked, users will be prompted to send you a private invitation through the individual chat, giving you the chance to join the group.
