Messenger Launched Admin Privileges for Group Chats

Users can also now create group invite links

Facebook Messenger introduced admin privileges for group chats, allowing users to better control who can join their group conversations.

With this release, admin users can turn on a new requests feature, giving them the ability to approve or deny each user who requests to join the group chat. For instance, an admin may wish to prevent certain users from automatically joining their party-planning group.

Group chat admins can also remove users from a group chat, promote other users to the admin status or demote other admins.

As this update rolls out, every user in a previously created group chat will automatically be given admin status.
