How to avoid being added to a WhatsApp group

How to avoid being included in WhatsApp groups

The easiest way so far has been to block the person who put you in the group, so as not to let them do it again, but things have changed with the latest update of WhatsApp that is coming these days on mobile phones.

Avoiding being added to a WhatsApp group without your authorization is very simple, you must follow these steps:

Go to Settings. Click on the three points aligned vertically at the top right of the screen … the tab will open.

Click on the first option of the Account menu.

Go to the Privacy tab.

Go to the Groups tab. This wasn’t there before, it’s part of the new update.

You will see that there are three options. You can choose between:

• Everything– nothing will change and everything will continue as before, anyone can add you to a group.
• Your contacts– only people you have as contacts can include you in a group. The rest of the people will not be able to do it if they try they will receive an alert notification where you can choose whether you want to be part of the group.
• No one– through this option, no one can add you to a group, before each attempt you will receive a notification so that you can choose the desired option.
