FINALLY! Whatsapp Lets You Prevent People From Adding You To Their Groups by InoutNaija(f): 1:20am On Apr 04, 2019
WhatsApp Group can be the most annoying thing especially when you don’t know who added you to them and the discussion is not making any sense, this can be very very frustrating.

I know countless number of people who stopped using Whatsapp because they are unable to stop/restrict people people from adding them to senseless groups but with this new settings, such won’t happen again and you all can now use the App with rest of mind

See the Group settings screenshot below:-

NOTE:- In case you can’t find the update option to update WhatsApp on your App store, give it sometimes as they are currently rolling out the updates in batches.

HOW TO ENABLE THE SETTINGS

1. Open WhatsApp on your phone, and go to Settings > Accounts > Privacy.

2. Tap on Groups, and select any of the option below that suits you best.

Below are the options:-

Nobody (this will prevents anyone from adding you to a group).

My Contacts (only your contacts can add you to a group).

Anyone (Anyone can add you to a group without an invitation)

If you value your privacy, you should select either of the first two options.

This seems interesting. Next is to let only those on your contact message you.
I can see Whatsapp becoming a spamming tool.

I was added to a group once, whenever I tried to leave they just add me back.

It got so annoying that I kept on spamming the group with porn photos- they got tired and kicked me out.

This is a nice feature

When you leave a whatsapp group, you can't be added again, they'll get a message saying you left and you can't be added.
