WhatsApp’s New Feature To Help Users Stay Safe In Group Messaging
Meta-owned WhatsApp on Tuesday rolled out a new feature that will help users stay safe in group messaging. This has already started rolling out to users and will be available to all users in the coming weeks, the company said. According to the company, if users are added to a group by someone they don’t know, they will now see a context card giving them more information about the group.
“This includes who added you, how recent the group was created, and who created it,” WhatsApp said. “From there, you can decide whether to stay or leave the group and review some of the safety tools available to stay safe and secure on WhatsApp,” it added.
