WhatsApp Introduced Several New Features for Groups

Admins gained a lot more control

Facebook’s continued emphasis on groups has been extended to its WhatsApp messaging application.

WhatsApp announced several new features for groups in a blog post Tuesday:

  • Group description: Group administrators can establish the purpose, guidelines and topics for groups, and new members will see this information atop the chat.
  • Admin controls: Admins can restrict which members can change the group’s subject, icon and description. They can also remove admin permissions of other group members. Group creators can no longer be removed from groups they started.
