WhatsApp has now introduced a solution for one of our biggest peeves related to the application and that is being added to a WhatsApp group without consent. With this new feature, people cannot add you to a group without your consent. The App has made changes to its settings through which you can now choose where you want to be added or not. The setting allows you to select the between options - Everyone, My Contacts and My Contacts Except. However, even though you change the settings, you will still receive the group admins invite link for you to join a group.
