WhatsApp is introduced new features for groups, They sharing improvements that they made. These features are available for Android and iPhone users.
New Features
- Group description: A short blurb found under group info that allows you to set the purpose, guidelines, or topics for the group. When a new person joins a group, the description will show up at the top of the chat. The group description can be changed by the admins as well as other non-admin members, whose rights are controlled by the admins only. This means that admins can restrict the regular group chat members to add, remove, or change a group description.
- Admin controls: In group settings, there’s now a control that allows admins to restrict who can change the group’s subject, icon, and description.
- Group catches up: When you’ve been away from a group chat, quickly catch up on messages that mention or reply to you by tapping on a new @ button that appears at the bottom right corner of the chat.
- Participant search: Find anyone in a group by searching for participants on the group info page.
- Admins can now remove admin permissions of other group participants, and group creators can no longer be removed from the group they started.
- They have also introduced protection so users can’t be repeatedly added to groups they have left.
