WhatsApp is preparing an interface for giving admins the power to approve people looking to participate in a group chat
WhatsApp has no shortage of ideas for new tools to help manage chat groups in its app. The instant messenger has beta-tested a feature allowing admins to delete other users' messages, and we've also seen work towards letting admins decide who is allowed to join a group chat. While that latter feature is still in development, a new screenshot gives us an early peek at how it might arrive.
WhatsApp's new 2.22.18.9 beta still doesn't have this approval screen user-facing, but WABetaInfo was able to trigger it and grab the shot you see below. Once live, this group setting will give admins the power to decide who gets to join. WABI speculates that we could see the list of pending requests down beneath this toggle.
Once this is active, presumably in a future beta build, admins with the option enabled will receive a notification when someone wants to join a group. Read More...
