WhatsApp rolls out ‘Restrict Group’: Here's all you need to know WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature, “Restrict Group” for all iOS, Android and Windows Phone users. The feature gives the group administrator powers to restrict other members from sending text messages, photographs, videos, GIFs, documents or voice messages in the group. According to WABetaInfo, to get the feature you need to update your WhatsApp version to the 2.18.132 Android update in order to remotely receive the activation of the feature. “All participants can normally edit the group description, icon and subject, but finally the administrator can restrict this feature today, preventing no-administrators to modify the group description,” the website said. This action can be managed in the Admin Settings, a new option located in Group Info that’s visible to the administrator only. The administrator can restrict who can change the group info. Administrators can keep sharing media and chatting as normal as they restrict other members. Once restricted, other members will simply have to read their messages and will not be able to respond. They will have to use the “Message Admin” button to post a message or share media to the group. The message will need to be approved by the administrator before going through to the rest of the group. -PTC News-
