After the ‘Dismiss as Admin‘ feature, the developers of WhatsApp has updated the beta version to give a more controlling feature to the group admins. As now with the latest update, the developers of world’s most favourite instant messaging application provides the ability to restrict other members from changing group info with a new feature called ‘Restrict Group’.
Till now any one of a group can able to edit the group info but now it will not happen anymore, as with the new ‘Restrict Group’. With the new feature, the original admin of the group can able to prevent members of the group from changing the group info. With this new feature, you will able to see a new option called a Group Settings under the group info section, when you tap on it, you will see two options i.e. ‘Edit group info’ and ‘Edit group admins’.
The ‘Edit group info’ will further expand two more options called ‘All Participants’ and ‘Only Admins’, if the original admins select ‘All Participants’ then all the members of the group will able to change the group info. However, if the original admin select ‘Only Admins’ then the group admins can only able to change the group info.
The feature is a part of the WhatsApp beta version 2.18.132 but I’m using the same version one I am not able to see the new option which indicates that it is a server-side roll out and it will arrive soon. Well, this is a really handy feature and I hope that the developers of the WhatsApp will roll out the feature on the stable version of the application in near future.
