The feature, which is currently being rolled out on the latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS devices, is a great way for group admins to manage and control who joins the group. With this feature turned on, users will get a message in the group chat suggesting that new participants will need an approval from the admin before they can join the group even if they have the invite link.

WhatsApp’s announcement about the new feature came shortly after the app introduced a new split view interface for Android tablets and a call link feature for the Windows version of the app. It looks like WhatsApp is taking the lead in the messaging app industry by introducing features that prioritize the safety and security of users.
The new feature is surely a welcome addition to the app and will make it more secure and efficient. Admins can now easily screen the new participants and make sure only the right people join the group.
