VentrueBeat reports that the app now lets users stop people from adding them to groups if they are not in a contact in their address book.<\/p>\n<p>The controls are developed in order to curb misinformation from easily spreading. The BBC News reported that ahead of the Brazil&#8217;s election last year, political campaigners were using software to automatically add swath of people and politically motivate WhatsApp groups without their consent.<\/p>\n<p>Users that restrict who can add them to groups can still be added by private invitation. They\u2019ll receive a link, which gives basic information about the group they\u2019ve been invited to, and can choose to join it if they want to. Otherwise the link expires in 72 hours. Previously a WhatsApp support page noted that the only way to prevent being added to a group was to block the group\u2019s admin.<\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp has already limited the amount of times a message can be forwarded to five, and also now labels forwarded messages to draw attention to them.<\/p>\n<p>The new settings can be accessed by heading to Account options within the settings menu. Select Privacy, then Groups, and you\u2019ll be able to select who exactly can add you to a group. This gives you three options, Nobody, My Contacts, or Everyone.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\"><div class=\"mashsb-box\"><div class=\"mashsb-count mash-large\" style=\"float:left\"><div class=\"counts mashsbcount\">473<\/div><span class=\"mashsb-sharetext\">SHARES<\/span><\/div><div class=\"mashsb-buttons\"><a class=\"mashicon-facebook mash-large mash-center mashsb-noshadow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kenyanenterprise.com%2Fsites%2Finversk-review%2Farticle%2Fwhatsapp-update-now-allows-you-to-control-who-can-add-you-to-groups%2F\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"icon\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">Share<\/span><\/a><a class=\"mashicon-twitter mash-large mash-center mashsb-noshadow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&amp;url=https:\/\/www.kenyanenterprise.com\/sites\/inversk-review\/article\/whatsapp-update-now-allows-you-to-control-who-can-add-you-to-groups\/&amp;via=enterprise_ke\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"icon\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">Tweet<\/span><\/a><a class=\"mashicon-subscribe mash-large mash-center mashsb-noshadow\" href=\"#\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"icon\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">Subscribe<\/span><\/a><div class=\"onoffswitch2 mash-large mashsb-noshadow\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                <div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><div class=\"mashsb-toggle-container\"><\/div><\/aside>\n            <!-- Share buttons by mashshare.net - Version: 4.0.47-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatsapp has introduced new controls to enable users restrict those who can add them to group chats that are not of relevance to them.
