WhatsApp is rolling out new updates almost every other day to its Android and iOS apps. A few weeks ago, WhatsApp started rolling out a new update with Group invitation feature to the iOS beta users and reports said that the same feature would very soon come to the Android users as well. WhatsApp is doing the same and with the Android 2.19.55 update, the company is seen testing the Group invitation feature for the Android users out there. WhatsApp Group invitation feature is currently in the developing state which means the Android users will be able to enjoy the feature very soon. The Facebook-owned messaging platform is yet to reveal official rollout timeline details of the feature. A report coming from WABetaInfo notes, “The feature will be enabled in future and it requires a lot of time to be enabled because WhatsApp wants to ensure the best bug-free experience for you.”

WhatsApp Group Invitation: How It Works?
So what is a Group invitation feature? Going by the name by enabling this feature no Group admin will be able to add you to a group without your prior permission. Basically, with this feature, you’ll be able to decide which WhatsApp group you want to join and which you don’t. The feature comes with three options – Everyone, My Contacts and Nobody.
You can get these options in the Privacy menu of WhatsApp. All you’ll need to do is, go to Privacy>Groups> then choose between Everyone, My Contacts and Nobody option. The Everyone option is when you allow everyone to add you in any group, something like the current situation when the Group Admin doesn’t need permission to add anyone in a group.
