WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform, owned by Meta Platforms, has just presented a novelty that, in the coming weeks, will reach group administrators so that they can have greater control over who can join. of them through the invitation links.

And it is that until now, an invitation link was enough to join a specific group, unless you have been previously expelled without the possibility of return, this being an access route to the groups together with the direct incorporation carried out by the administrators themselves.

To choose who can enter from invitation links

What WhatsApp brings to group administrators is the possibility that they can approve or deny access requests to those who try to access through invitation links, taking into account the lack of control that may have occurred in many groups after the arrival of Communities last year.

This will avoid a fairly common practice in many groups, whose administrators have gone so far as to create post groups with invite links, in which they establish pre-moderation by prompting applicants to accept some rules before taking them to the main groups.

It should be said that administrators may choose to use the new tool or maintain the traditional situation that has been used to date, in the manner and manner they wish for their groups.

You will know about the arrival of this new tool because a notice will appear within the groups, indicating that it will be enabled by default, inviting the change if you want to continue opting for the usual method.

To let users know about groups in common with contacts

And on the user side, WhatsApp points out that they will also have the opportunity to find out about the groups they have in common with another person, something that has been possible on Telegram for quite some time. And it is that like Telegram, in WhatsApp it will be enough to search for the name of a specific contact to know the groups that are in common with him for whatever reason.

Although the news of WhatsApp are not as ambitious as those of Telegram, now WhatsApp allows you to put a little more order and be a little more at the level of what is expected of a popular messaging platform.
