Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – WhatsApp groups are presented to facilitate communication with many people including colleagues, friends, and family at the same time.
But sometimes, you are in an unwanted WhatsApp group. Suddenly you have been added to a WhatsApp group without consent and no one is known to be in that group.
Being added to an unknown WhatsApp group can now be prevented. People you don’t know have to invite you if they want to add you to the group. This means that you decide whether to join or not.
Here’s how to deny entry to a WhatsApp group containing unknown people:
- Tap the three parallel dots that are at the top right of the WhatsApp app and open Settings or Settings
- Tap Accounts > Privacy (Privacy) > Groups (Groups)
- There will appear three options to choose from. Namely Anyone (anyone), My Contact (my contact), My Contact Expect (my contact except). Select one.
Please note, selecting Anyone means that anyone can add you to a WhatsApp group, even strangers.
If you choose My Contact, it means that the only people who can add you to the WhatsApp group are people whose cellphone numbers are already stored on your smartphone. If not saved then he must send an invitation (invitation) to enter the group.
If you choose My Contact Expect, it means that only people whose cellphone numbers are stored on your cellphone are allowed to add you, but some people on your contact list must send an invitation first before you are added to the group. The contact list is up to you.
