Block group invites on WhatsApp

This an amazing feature on WhatsApp and it’s available on both versions of the app (iOS and Android). Remember the app is up to date on your device.

Step 1:

Simply move to the Settings tab, and click on Account. On the Account screen, move to Privacy.

Step 2:

Once you enter into the Privacy screen, look for the Groups option and click it. On the Groups screen, you can select who can, and who cannot invite you to a group. Simply set the default to ‘Everyone’. It means that the person who has your phone number can invite or add you to the group.

Step 3:

The ‘My Contacts’ choice enables only those users who swap messages with and added to your contacts to add you to a group. It means that, certainly, you just add those people to the group you trust.

Step 4:

The ‘My Contacts Except…’ option enables you to exclude some contacts from adding you to a WhatsApp group. This is the most limited or restrictive choice. So, you can use it to block invites from a contact who wants to add you to groups that aren’t essential.

The setting puts a great impact on future group invites. If you’re already a member of a group thread that was initiated by someone you do not know. Or you were added by someone that is not present in your contacts list, you will still remain a member of it. You can also leave a group by moving to its details screen. Also, you can mute the group if leaving a group puts you in a social bind. You can mute a group chats up to one year before it’s automatically unmuted.

You can’t notification from the muted group chat. The messages will be delivered silently and you can move back and read them when you want to. Group members also don’t know that you’ve muted the group but they will know if you are reading a message or not.
