WhatsApp rolls out administrative contrls for groups

New Delhi, May 15: WhatsApp has again rolled out new features for users to make the App more user-friendly. The new features are for groups which offer better administrative controls.

Under "Admin controls" in Group settings, there's now a control that allows admins to restrict who can change the group's subject, icon and description.

A short blurb is found under Group info that allows you to set the purpose, guidelines or topics for the group.

"When a new person joins a group, the description will show up at the top of the chat," WhatsApp said in a blog post.

"Group catch up" feature will let users catch up on messages that mention or reply to them by tapping on a new @ button that appears at the bottom right corner of the chat.

"Admins can now remove admin permissions of other group participants, and group creators can no longer be removed from the group they started," WhatsApp company said.
