Last year WhatsApp introduced several new features related to groups. It looks like the Facebook-owned messaging platform is coming up with another group related feature. This is a feature some WhatsApp users have been waiting for a long time. New reports suggest that WhatsApp is working on a group feature that will let users have control over who can add them to a new group. Currently, anyone and everyone can add you to a random WhatsApp group without your permission. But with the coming of this new feature, this will no longer happen. You will have full control over who can add you in a group. People will need your permission before they add you to a group. This new group feature will most likely be like an invitation control mechanism.

The report suggests that this new group feature is currently being tested in closed beta for iPhone users. Most WhatsApp users first come to iPhone users later followed by Android and Windows. The same will happen for the new upcoming WhatsApp group as well.
What Is the Group Invitation Feature in WhatsApp?
This group feature was first spotted by WABetaInfo. As noted, this WhatsApp group invitation feature is currently available only to WhatsApp for iPhone beta users and will be soon rolled out to other users as well. The report suggests that the group invitation feature is currently in an inactive state as it is in its early stages of development.
