How many WhatsApp groups do you have? And now think, how many people from those WhatsApp groups send inappropriate messages, absurd chains or spam? Well, pay attention to this information, because the solution to all your messaging problems comes into your life - and that of the rest of the group members. From now on it will be possible to block others from sending WhatsApp group messages.
WhatsApp recently released the function Restrict Group PermissionsFor some time now, those responsible for this important messaging application have been reinforcing the characteristics of the groups. It has been allowing group admins for a while to modify the group's topic, description and information, as well as demote an admin.
The feature that today adds to this compendium will allow administrators to end the nightmare of certain people Because they will be able to prevent them from sending messages or files attached to the group, without having to remove them from the conversation. This functionality will be especially useful for those who want to create a purely informative group, in which only the administrator can issue messages and the rest of the users appear as viewers.
Prevent someone from sending messages in a WhatsApp group
From now on, the administrator will be able to disable chat functions within the group. What does this mean? Well, when this – or any of those who are administering the group – select the option 'Only administrators' within the Send Messages configuration, only those who manage the group. The rest of the users will have this limited option during the time that those responsible for the group consider appropriate.
At the time this feature was being developed, WhatsApp thought it would be better to keep the option to prevent other users from writing for at least 72 hours. However, in the final function, administrators will be able to modify the possibility of someone writing at any time as many times as they deem necessary and without any limitation of by half.
As soon as this feature has been enabled, group participants will receive a notification. And they will see at all times that only administrators have the option to type.
Feature Availability
As explained by WABetaInfo, this feature will reach all WhatsApp users, including those who access it through Android, iOS and Windows Phone. In this sense there will be no exceptions. It is possible, however, that despite having updated the application – it does not matter that you are not beta – this feature is still not available.
You must bear in mind, for example, that to be able to enjoy this feature, it will be necessary to have version 2.18.201 on Android. Experts believe that it will arrive soon, but it seems that the deployment is being very slow. In the case of iOS, the update has the code 2.18.70
If despite having installed the updates, they do not work, what experts recommend is to reinstall the WhatsApp application and reinstall it to try.This is how the server configurations are downloaded and the feature is enabled.
