Take More Control of your WhatsApp Group using these Steps

Guess even the engineers at WhatsApp are tired of the unending bickering that follows every message and announcements from the Admin, the unsolicited pictures and in the extremes the bigots chatting shit cos they can get away with it.

Well, WhatsApp added a new feature that now allows only the administrator of a WhatApp group to send messages and to decide who else can become administrators to limit and make communication more efficient yesterday.

“One way people use groups is to receive important announcements and information‚ including parents and teachers at schools‚ community centres‚ and non-profit organisations. We’ve introduced this new setting so admins can have better tools for these use cases‚” WhatsApp said in their announcement.

To use these features‚ make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp.

Here is how to limit who can post messages on a WhatsApp group:

– Open the WhatsApp group that you are the administrator of;

– Open “Group info”;

– Tap on “Group settings”;

– Tap on “Send messages”; and

– Select “Only admins”.

To add or make a member of the group an administrator:

– Open the WhatsApp group that you are the administrator of;

– Open “Group info”;

– Tap on “Group settings”

– Tap on “Edit group admins”; and

– Select the participants you want to make a group administrator.
